How does a poem mean? Find out in our new Poetry collection, which offers resources about festivals, slams, poets laureate, poetry timelines, sonnets, audio recordings, genres ranging from cowboy poetry to haiku, and much more. Thanks to Tom McGibney for his excellent work creating this new section of LII. Enjoy!
V&A Access to Images

The database covers a wide range of objects, including ceramics, fashion, furniture, glass, metalwork, paintings, photographs, prints, sculpture, and textiles." There is no browsing feature, but if you leave the "search" form empty all of the images will come up in thumbnail form. From the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum in London.

The Internet Courses: Weblogs
A resource page put up by Dr. L. Anne Clyde from the University of Iceland on weblogs and libraries. It represents a nice exhaustive listing of LIS weblog resources and other useful webloggy information, and is only let down by some out-of-date links.
