The California Digital Library has been working on bringing a wide array of
primary and secondary materials online over the past few years, and this
particular digital endeavor is one that will delight both academics and
those who are just plain curious about everything from the influence of
Elvis Presley on Mexican popular music to the ceremonial costumes of the
Pueblo Indians. All told, the general public can access almost 2000 books
from a variety of academic presses. Visitors to the site can perform a quick
title search if they wish, or they can also look up available titles by
author or subject. Additionally, there is a help feature for users who
might encounter any difficulties during their time on the site. [KMG]
[Moderator: While there are nearly 2000 titles in the system, only a subset
were available in full for general public access. Currently that subset
includes 518 volumes, most of which I index. - JMO]
