"Biodiversity studies of Central America received an enormous boost recently when the Smithsonian Institution Libraries launched its digital version of the Libraries' Galaxy of Knowledge Web site. It is the largest digital edition ever placed online by the Libraries, representing more than 25,000 pages. The electronic rendition assumes the duties of the original, out-of-print set of 58 volumes that includes virtually everything known about the animals and plants of Mexico and Central America. Descriptions of over 50,000, and images of over 18,000 species of animals and plants are now accessible as never before."

From the site: "The craft and art of binding books by hand was vividly chronicled in an exhibition at Princeton University's Firestone Library. Entitled "Hand Bookbindings: Plain and Simple to Grand and Glorious," the exhibition ran from November 10, 2002, through April 20, 2003, in the Library's main gallery. While conventional wisdom holds that books cannot be judged by their covers, visitors had a chance to do just that from the most humble of volumes to the most luxurious; from the monastic manuscripts of the twelfth century to the special editions of the twentieth. Now that the exhibition has run its course, it has been turned into an online display of over two hundred bindings. They are divided thematically into twenty-six categories"
