I agree with Peter Suber, the Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliograpy is a monumental work. Charles Bailey has created a free online educational resource that leads to a multitude of other resources. ______JH ________  "The Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography (SEPB) presents selected English-language articles, books, and other printed and electronic sources that are useful in understanding scholarly electronic publishing efforts on the Internet. Most sources have been published between 1990 and the present; however, a limited number of key sources published prior to 1990 are also included. Where possible, links are provided to sources that are freely available on the Internet. The Open Access Bibliography: Liberating Scholarly Literature with E-Prints and Open Access Journals, by the same author, provides much more in-depth coverage of the open access movement and related topics (e.g., disciplinary archives, e-prints, institutional repositories, open access journals, and the Open Archives Initiative) than SEPB does. The "Open Access Webliography" complements the OAB, providing access to a number of Websites related to open access topics. "   ________ Version 60 of Bailey bibliography. Charles W. Bailey Jr. has released version 60 of his monumental Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography. The new version cites and organizes over 2,560 print and online articles, books, and other sources on scholarly electronic publishing. By noemail@noemail.org (Peter Suber).

eScholarship Repository--California Digital Library The eScholarhip site aggregates resources from all the University of California campuses. The site is browseable according to Campus, Research Unit, Journals, Seminars, and Postprints categories; the site is also searchable using keywords or authors' names. The home page shows a "Paper of the Day" and also a display of the top ten downloads. eScholarship shows very effectively how a repository can be used to collect and exchange scholarly resources; it does not attempt to fulfill some of the other functions described in the "What is a Digital Library Anymore, Anyway?" article. _______JH 8:36:39 AM    COMMENT []
