[Corpora-List] New search service for language resources

[Steven Bird]

Announcing the new OLAC Language Resource Catalog.  Search and browse
over 100,000+ language resources from 40+ language archives, at:

    http://search.language-archives.org/

This catalog, developed by the Open Language Archives Community
(OLAC), provides access to a wealth of information about thousands of
languages, including details of text collections, audio recordings,
dictionaries, and software, sourced from dozens of digital and
traditional archives.  The catalog was developed by staff at the
Linguistic Data Consortium, the University of Pennsylvania Libraries,
the Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics, and the University of
Melbourne.  The primary sponsor is the National Science Foundation.

OLAC is an international partnership of institutions and individuals
who are creating a worldwide virtual library of language resources by:
(i) developing consensus on best current practice for the digital
archiving of language resources, and (ii) developing a network of
interoperating repositories and services for housing and accessing
such resources.  For more information about OLAC, please visit
