Online Burma/Myanmar Library
|
The Online Burma/Myanmar Library is a database which functions as an annotated, classified and hyperlinked index to full texts of individual Burma documents on the Internet. It also houses a growing collection of articles, conference papers, theses, books, reports, archives and directories on-site. The Library's starting point historically was the Burma Peace Foundation's documentation of the human rights situation in Burma, and with the UN Burma material, this area still comprises about half the total number of items. This ratio is falling as the other sections -- Bibliographies/research, Economy, Geography, Health, History, Military, Politics and Government, Society and Culture, etc. -- are built up. They invite specialists to provide various levels of input in their specific areas of knowledge, from commenting on the structure, sending web addresses (URLs) of online items that should be added, emailing documents to be placed directly on the site, to editing whole sections or sub-sections.

Librarian.net
One of the first library-related blogs, librarian.net has been providing links and commentary on library issues with a radical librarian perspective. Created in 1999 and maintained by rarin' librarian Jessamyn West, librarian.net has traveled to Australia, the Democratic National Convention, the chambers of the American Library Association Council, and library conferences across the US. Visit the site to learn more about open source library tools, digital rights management, the library funding crisis, and the USA PATRIOT Act.
Jessamyn West is featured not once but twice in this slide show from the New York Times Style section associated with an article entitled “All-Stars of the Clever Riposte” on blog commenters and on Metafilter.
