Once you create an account you can create a collection and store in it any material available in the UMich online collection.<br \/>\nAs with many online collection projects, the idea is marvelous. The actual collection you can create, however, is currently limited. For example, searching for books that would fit the collection I created (Godey&#8217;s Lady&#8217;s Book Contributors) proved to be disappointing in the paucity of its results. However, that can only improve as more books are digitized and added to their collection.<br \/>\nConclusion?
