A Virtual Learning Environment on the World-Wide Web
"In order to make accessible the wide range of resources related to Plato that are already available on the Internet and potentially enhance the study of Plato for anyone with an Internet connection, we have employed a search engine to track, catalogue and organize these resources. We have also presented them in an easy-to-navigate hierarchical index...We have divided resources into six domains, including articles and essays, bibliographies, book reviews, lecture notes, maps and images, and primary texts, each of which may be searched alone or in any combination with the others."
