The Online Books Page was the second substantial effort to catalog online texts, but the first to do so with the rigors required by library science. It first appeared on the Web in the summer of 1993. The Internet Public Library came shortly thereafter.
The web site was named one of the best free reference web sites in 2003 by the Machine-Assisted Reference Section of the American Library Association.[2]
