The British Library's new Learning website at
http://www.bl.uk/learning/index.html
<http://www.bl.uk/learning/index.html> is devoted to promoting the
wonders of the book, and to opening up the mysterious and magical
qualities of the Library's collection.
Virtual visitors can browse a treasure trove of fascinating texts and
images: from medieval banquet menus to ancient Iranian myths, from 18th
century ship's logs to Russian Constructivist book covers, from
Victorian freak show posters to WWII maps. There are over a thousand
texts on the site, as well as wonderful audio recordings from the Sound
archive, and a range of multimedia elements. The site is divided into
six themed sections, making navigation easy and enjoyable.
In launching the new website, the Learning team aims to bring the
British Library's world renowned collection to a wider audience, and to
inspire learners of all ages. The material provides myriad opportunities
for personalised learning, individual research projects and classroom
activity.
