Digital Public Library of America (DPLA)
The vision of a national digital library has been circulating among librarians, scholars, educators, and private industry representatives since the early 1990s. Many universities, public libraries, and other public-spirited organizations have digitized materials, but these digital collections often exist in silos. The DPLA brings these different viewpoints, experiences, and collections together in a single platform and portal, providing open and coherent access to our society’s digitized cultural heritage. The portal delivers millions of materials found in American archives, libraries, museums, and cultural heritage institutions to students, teachers, scholars, and the public. Far more than a search engine, the portal provides innovative ways to search and scan through its united collection of distributed resources. Special features include a dynamic map, a timeline that allow users to visually browse by year or decade, and an app library that provides access to applications and tools created by external developers using DPLA’s open data.

Library of Congress (LOC) |

• Online Catalogs 
  A public retrieval system, providing access to approximately 14 million records (out of 27 million) from the LOC. You can search by keyword, author, title, ISBN and LC class searches, as well as limit by format, date, publisher, and language. Results can be sorted by date, title, of LC call number, either in ascending or descending order. Individual records are displayed in hypertext format, making it possible to jump to other works on the same subject, call number, or by the same author, als well as to link to online texts and images, and view by the MARC (MAchine Readable-Cataloging) formats of any record. Search the catalogs using Basic search or Guided search.
• Library of Congress Information System (LOCIS) [telnet]
  Offers access to catalog records for books, microforms, serials, cartographic items, music, visual materials (films, filmstrips, posters, prints, photographs), computer files, manuscripts, thesauri of names and subject terms used in cataloging records, catalog records from some other research libraries, and records for some bibliographies. LOCIS provides browsable indexes, keyword searching, Boolean combinations, various display options, set creation, and advanced features for limiting sets. Connecting to LOCIS requires the use of Telnet or TN3270 software. Telnet and TN3270 are TCP/IP programs that allow you to connect to and use computers that are connected to the internet; many online catalogs are only available through this connection method.
• Z39.50 
  A simple interface using the Z39.50 technology. You can search books by title or personal name (one person's name only). Use of this form results in a combined search of the following LC files: books, serials, music, maps, manuscripts, computer files, and visual materials. The Advanced Search Form must be used to for multiple terms useing Boolean operators. See LC MUMS Databases Searchable via Z39.50 for a brief description of the individual files.
• Center for the Book
  Stimulates public interest in books, reading, and libraries, and encourages the study of books and print culture. The Center is a catalyst for promoting and exploring the vital role of books, reading, and libraries--nationally and internationally.
• Digital Collections & Services
  Offers acces to print, pictorial and audio-visual collections and other digital services.
• LC Classification Outline
  While the outline is not searchable, users may browse through the twenty-one categories, which are then arranged by sub-category and number range. It's a good start for the library user who would like to be convinced that the LOC system is a logical organizational structure. Very useful to library patrons who need to get an overall sense of the LOC system, and to library staff members who are assisting them.

    Article on the function of the librarian. The motto: "the primary function of the library is not so much to provide access to information, as it is rather to reduce the amount of time needed by local clients to gain such access" (Atkinson).
  • Resource sharing in a virtual library environment: user oriented collection management 
    The virtual library concept can be seen as a model for resource sharing. The three major components of resource sharing are: bibliographic access, interlibrary lending, and co-operative collection development. The changes being experienced in the transition to a digital environment offer new opportunities for co-operative action in making information available to users. The shift to a predominantly digital environment will occur at different rates in different fields, which urges for different approaches in those fields. Electronic journals for the sciences offer new perspectives for co-ordinated collection development. Collection building per institute and the NCC/IBL-system will vanish and make way, by negotiations with publishers, for a distributed and co-ordinated collection. Books are, however, still the most important tools for the humanities' community.
