digital libraries on NPR
Two of our favourite people, Project Gutenberg’s, Michael Hart and Internet Archive’s Brewster Kahle, join Stanford’s Michael Keller on Ira Flatow’s NPR show, Science Friday for a great discussion of digital libraries.
Project Gutenberg is where we get most of our source texts, and Internet Archive hosts our audio files.
