Digital resources in Spanish libraries

The Ministerio de Cultura (Culture Department) has put online two useful applications to know the digital collections of Spanish libraries. Both can be consulted in the same URL. On the one hand, the Harvester of Digital Resources is a tool to gain access to the documents in digital libraries or in repositories, in a full text format, observing the protocol Open Archives Initiate- Protocol for Metadata Harvesting, (OAI-PMH). The harvester is periodically updated, and its database is always growing. On the other hand, the Directory of Digital Resources is becoming the first significant compilation of Spanish libraries digital collections. Information is also given about the contents in many diferent digital libraries, their development, funding, subjects, etc, so as the responsibles contact data.
