Civic Webs Virtual Library

The goal of this Virtual Library is to support projects of different Civic Webs™. One sub-goal is to create a collection of documents in one location with  hyperlinks to "bookmarks" on each web page, so that each document can refer to specific paragraphs in other related documents using these hyperlinks. This will enable users of Civic Webs™ to write articles with hyperlinks to these bookmarks. The result is a true "Web" in the original sense of the word, because all documents in this Virtual Library will be integrated together into one Web of information.

Following is a sampling of documents that are already published within this Web:
