Oxford Univ. Service Recommends
Libraries Project

Humbul Humanities Hub logo

"Highly recommended" is how the internationally respected Humbul Humanities Hub described Arachne @ Rutgers [http://arachne.rutgers.edu/], a Rutgers University Libraries' digital project.

The Humbul Humanities Hub is a service of the Resource Discovery Network, funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee and the Arts and Humanities Research Board, and is hosted by the University of Oxford. The Humbul Humanities Web is a service that aims to be the United Kingdom higher education community's first choice for accessing online humanities resources.

Humbul is dedicated to discovering, evaluating and cataloguing online resources in the humanities. Humbul provides online access to this growing collection of records and is constantly seeking new ways to increase the availability and use of its record collection. Humbul's principal service is to develop its catalogue of evaluated online resources in the humanities. Equally important is the variety of ways that Humbul facilitates access to its records.
