December 2011: The Aboriginal Languages Virtual Library has been updated!
The following changes have been made in this major update:
- links checked and updated, "lost" resources relocated where possible
- new resources listed
- an entirely new MySQL/PHP/Javascript-based interface created
- you can search for a language name, part of its name, or its ISO 639-3 code
The new interface has made it possible to add features such as user feedback about resources (see Help). In the future, I will add further features to improve usability.
The site now has annotated links to 267 resources for over 80 languages. Over 35% of these resources are produced or published by Indigenous people.
Compared to the last complete update (2007):
- number of items that "disappeared" and were re-found: 40
- number of items that disappeared or went offline: 30
- number of newly added items: 90
- net number of listed resources has increased from 231 to 266
- number of languages represented has remained the same (about 80)
- proportion of resources produced or published by Indigenous sources has remained the same (about 35%)
More info and stats to come shortly!!
