eCUIP: The Digital Library Project

Internet Public Library:
This award-winning Web-based library is an excellent example of a virtual library, acting both as a collection and as an organization of librarians committed to helping patrons. IPL has a children’s page, as well.

University of California, Berkeley, Digital Library Project:
This collection includes over 600 images on diverse subjects, from plants and animals of California to African animals, plants, or landscape searchable by country. Its strength is its images that are not available elsewhere.
