Resources of the Week
We have two entries this week.

Digital Collections
Online Exhibits
Library and Archival Exhibitions on the Web
This compilation is long overdue as a Resource of the Week selection. Library 
and Archival Exhibitions on the Web was recently updated and now contains 
information and links to more than 2,950 online exhibits from universities and 
other institutions around the world. It's also a great way to learn about many 
interesting digitization projects and it illustrates, once again, the 
impressive and important work being done by librarians to help organize 
web-based resources.

Diane Shaw, a librarian at the Smithsonian Institution, builds and maintains 
this resource, which was launched nine years ago by Andrea Bean Hough at the 
University of Houston. Diane took the helm in 1998. Browse the compilation by 
title, or search by subject keywords, institution name or exhibition name.
