Fans Lib > AboutThe FL is inspired by the WWW Virtual Library (VL), the oldest catalogue of the Web, started by Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of HTML and of the Web itself, in 1991 at CERN in Geneva. Unlike commercial catalogues, it is run by a confederation of volunteers, who compile pages and links for particular areas in which they are expert; even though it isn't the biggest index of the Web, the VL pages are widely recognised as being amongst the highest-quality guides to particular sections of the Web.
Like the VL, the main mission of the Fans Library (FL) is to provide a list of safe and good quality sites. Unlike the VL, the FL contains only a variety of resource related with music and movie. Each section is maintained by volunteers (fans) and sites added into each category are classified by visitors of the virtual library. This way, the public can find easily and quickly the best resources for a particular artist and/or movie.
Who runs it
Each contributor is responsible for the content of their own library, as long as they follow certain guidelines. The central Catalog pages are maintained by the Council of the FL.
Do you have a good list of sites for a particular artist and/or movie? Would you like to make your favourite area of the Web safe for unwary travelers? If so, consider joining the FL and bringing your expertise to the fans.
Please note: the FL is under construction. The library will be 100% online during next weeks.
Comments and more general enquiries can be made on a separate form.
