Many university libraries are providing portals into digital content on the Web. "Digital content" include resources such as electronic books, online journals, audio files (e.g., wav, mp3), images (e.g., tiff, gif), movies (e.g., mpeg, quicktime), and/or reference texts (e.g., dictionaries, or directories). One such portal is OAIster (pronounced 'oyster') because it leads you to the pearls of online content! The goal of OAIster is "to create a collection of freely available, difficult-to-access, academically-oriented digital resources that are easily searchable by anyone." Try searching for your subject, person, title of artwork, novel or text using the comprehensive search screen.
