Additional Full Text Resources
> Google Book Search
Google announced in December 2004 that they intended to create full text scans for every book in five major libraries (Harvard, Stanford, University of Michigan, University of Oxford, The New York Public Library). There are now 19 libraries participating in the Google Book Project, and that number will keep growing. There are extensive numbers of old, out-of-copyright books available in full text along with previews of new books provided by publishers.
> Find Articles from LookSmart
LookSmart has provided keyword searching access to a large body of scholarly (and sometimes not-so-scholarly)
articles on the web. Like many other Internet resources, you have to sift the good from the bad, but there
is a lot of good here, and it is all full text and free unless you expand the search to include pay-per-access
articles.
> Christian Classics Ethereal Library
Spearheaded by Harry Plantinga, the CCEL is a project similar to Project Gutenberg
in concept, but much narrower in scope. Primarily through the efforts of volunteers,
CCEL seeks to provide access to the classical writings of Christianity in an
an online format.
> Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg provides access to over 20,000 full online texts. Originally, Project Gutenberg primarily focused on
the classics of English and American literature, but it now incorporates out-of-copyright texts from all subjects in over 50 languages.
> The Internet Archive
The Internet Archive is quickly becoming a vast repository of online resources
including full text books along with video, music, and graphic files. It includes
the WaybackMachine which will let you search for archived web pages that are no
longer available online.
