What is the IPL?
The Internet Public Library is a public library for the world wide web.

Here are some of the partners in the IPL Consortium. A complete list is found on the IPL Consortium page.
The Internet Public Library is hosted by The iSchool at Drexel, College of Information Science and Technology,
