ETANA and Abzu

Chuck Jones left the following comment on yesterday's post on old books. I am moving it up here because I thought it would be helpful to readers that were not familiar with ETANA or Abzu.

Most of the volumes you list are there as a part of the ETANA project. For more on ETANA's digitization of old books follow the core texts link from http://www.etana.org

But the books digitized by ETANA are by no means the only digital facsimiles of books in ancient studies. Of the ca. nineteen thousand entries in Abzu about eleven hundred are digitized books.

To find material newly added to Abzu, you can follow the "View items recently added to ABZU" link at: http://www.etana.org/abzu/ entries stay there for a month from the date they are entered.

Alternatively you can make use of the RSS feed from the same page, or you can read the blog constructed from the RSS feed: What's New in Abzu blog http://www.bloglines.com/blog/AbzuNew. This blog gives a listing of everything added to the database since September 30 2005 (nearly a thousand items ).

Yours,

-Chuck Jones-

While I subscribe to the "View items recently added to ABZU" and do search Abzu when I'm looking for something, I found Case Western Reserve University's collection particularly appealing.
