Ett verkligt "fynd": Biodiversity Heritage Library.-som jag antagligen nämnt förut, men som definitivt förtjänar att nämnas igen: "Ten major natural history museum libraries, botanical libraries, and research institutions have joined to form the Biodiversity Heritage Library Project. The group is developing a strategy and operational plan to digitize the published literature of biodiversity held in their respective collections. This literature will be available through a global “biodiversity commons"
