The Morgan Library got some very spiffy coverage in the Music section of the NY Times this morning, and that’s extremely cool. But what was even cooler to me was clicking on my daily dose of LRC and finding this article on online libraries by George Giles. Giles is a libertarian (as are many who post on LRC) so his politics may not be to your liking, but the sites he links to seem quite substantial and cover everything from math to science to the goings on at Oxford and MIT to Marxism (I personally didn’t know there was a Marxists.org but i can’t say I’m surprised.) And I’m heartened to see he listed WebMD and the NIH among his selections. It’s all worth looking at in some detail.
