Internet Public Library

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Internet Public Library (IPL) is a non-profit, largely student-run website at the University of Michigan. Visitors can ask a reference question. Volunteer librarians and graduate students in library and information science form collections and answer questions. The IPL opened on March 17, 1995.

The IPL was founded at the University of Michigan’s School of Information. Michigan SI students almost exclusively generated its content. They also manage the Ask a Question reference service. Soon, 14 other schools will be actively taking part in the development and maintenance of the IPL.
