Aboriginal Languages Virtual Library Updated

The Aboriginal Languages of Australia WWW Virtual Library (http://www.dnathan.com/VL ) has been updated.

This long-awaited update includes:
- 90 new resources listed
- links checked and updated, "lost" resources relocated where possible
- language search: you can search for a language name (or part of its name), or an ISO 639-3 code
- pages predictably accessible via ISO codes where applicable
- feedback: users can easily suggest new resources or send comments about existing listings
- an entirely new MySQL/PHP/Javascript-based interface

The site now has annotated links to 267 resources for over 80 languages. Over 35% of these resources are produced or published by Indigenous people.

Note that the address has now slightly changed to http://www.dnathan.com/VL - please update any bookmarks or links you may have.
