IBIS Links

IBIS Links is the web's premier site for electronic resources in British and Irish Studies. 

Please help us expand and maintain IBS Links.  If you have a new link to suggest, send an email to Judith Bennett.

Some links have been placed, if appropriate, in more than one category.  But it will usually be worth your while to check multiple categories.

Please tell your colleagues and classes about the many resources available through IBIS Links.  Our address is easy to remember: www.usc.edu/ibis/ibislinks.  Or even easier, they can just google "ibis links" and our address will pop right up.

Updates were last added on: 19 September 2009.  All links were checked on 23 September 2009.  If you find a bad link, please email Judith Bennett.
