A wonderful bibliography from the English department of the University of Saskatchewan organizes the resources for the history and future of the book. For wonderful support materials for book studies progams and home schooling go to Iowa Book Works

Consider the following destinations; for book arts try The Book Arts Web, for wide field conservation of library and museum collections try CoOL: Conservation Online, for preservation of digital communications & media try the National Library of Australia's PADI: Preserving Access to Digital Information Or, for those who want to visit an alternative universe go to Institute for the Future of the Book.

There is the habitat of Craig Jensen, the legendary BookLab (I&II) founder and also go to Richard's site, <http://minsky.com> Richard Minsky is the founder, narrator and visionary of the book art movement in the USA. ZyBooks is a London based portal to book arts and artist's books. To find out the latest on Larry Raid's new utopia for timeless technologies go to Linotype University.

If you are looking for a link to a university based program in the future of the book, go to Center for the Book. For a program that prepares you to work for the future of library collections go to Kilgarlin Center (Preservation Conservation Studies) which is a component of the Center for the Cultural Record of the Information School (UT). The UIL Bookbinding Model Collection is fun too. Or for a larger domain of content providers go to the writing university.
