NEW WEB RESOURCES
In separate articles, the Chronicle of Higher Education recently announced the advent of two new web resources that are of significant interest to higher education:

* On August 27 the Chronicle reported that “NASA’s storehouse of historic photographs, film, and video will be digitized and made available free on the Internet with the assistance of the Internet Archive, a nonprofit digital library, according to a written statement released Thursday by the two organizations.” See more at:

* A bit earlier, on August 6, the Chronicle announced the debut of the online “Open Library” ~ “. . . a vast digital card catalog, (where) Web surfers will be able to edit entries, much like in Wikipedia . . . (and which) will also collect books in the public domain, a mission that will bring the library into competition with Google’s much-publicized book-scanning service.” Read more at: http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/index.php?id=2235?=atwc.
