The BL R&D report Sources of Digital Information is now available at:
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/papers/bl/sdi/
ABSTRACT
This report is the result of a study which set out to explore the
availability of digital information. It is intended to be of use to The
British Library, as it moves to providing more services based on digital
storage, and to other librarians and information professionals with
interests in this field. The scope is broad, in both geographical coverage
and nature of information sought. Accordingly, this report makes no claim
of encyclopaedic coverage.
Over three hundred digital sources are described, in varying degrees of
detail... The emphasis is on sources in and relevant to the UK; but
sources from many other countries are also included.
Note that this is not a guide to the Internet. Many of the
digital sources described here are not available via the Internet. At a
time when Internet-based resources are in some ways dominating thoughts in
information retrieval, this report intentionally covers sources delivered
in a variety of other ways.
