Share it

Mark Herring, of Winthropp University, on behalf of the Institute of Historical Research, has spent the summer reviewing the various online libraries that are now available to the internet-using public. His reviews cover not only the various search engines and digital libraries on offer, but also the phenomenon (or lack thereof) of “digital texts”, the advent of mobile e-text readers (such as the Kindle and the Sony eBook Reader) and the way these new(ish) technologies are revolutionising the publishing industry.
