The Online Books Page is an index ofe-text books available on theInternet.[1] It is edited byJohn Mark Ockerbloom and is hosted by the library of theUniversity of Pennsylvania.[2] The Online Books Page lists over 2 million books[3] and has several features, such asA Celebration of Women Writers andBanned Books Online.
The Online Books Page was the second substantial effort to catalog online texts, but the first to do so with the rigors required by library science. It first appeared on the Web in the summer of 1993. TheInternet Public Library came shortly thereafter.
The web site was named one of the best free reference web sites in 2003 by the Machine-Assisted Reference Section of theAmerican Library Association.[2]
