Home
to one of the largest "collections of collections" on the Internet,
ibiblio.org is a conservancy of freely available information, including
software, music, literature, art, history, science, politics, and
cultural studies. ibiblio.org is a collaboration of the School of Information and Library Science
and the School of Journalism and
Mass Communication at The University
of North Carolina - Chapel Hill.
The
"Rare Book Room" site has been constructed as an educational site
intended to allow the visitor to examine and read some of the great
books of the world. Over
the last decade, a company called "Octavo" digitally photographed some
of the world ’s great books from some of the greatest libraries. These
books were photographed at very high resolution (in some cases at over
200 megabytes per page). This
site contains all of the books (about 400) that have been digitized to
date. These range over a wide variety of topics and rarity. The books
are presented so that the viewer can examine all the pages in medium
to
medium-high resolution.
