European-American University™

The University's ongoing Libertarian Library Online Project (LLOP) aims to collect together online resources exploring different aspects of libertarian philosophy in a convenient single-source location, thus providing a comprehensive virtual library of libertarianism. As well as providing access to complete texts of such key writers as Henry David Thoreau, Ludwig von Mises and Adam Smith via online libraries, it includes links to libertarian organizations, political parties and to thousands of shorter articles and papers. All resources are free at the point of delivery and fully digitized for easy searching and printing. Resources are selected and annotated by the LLOP Librarians.

The language of the Project is English; we note that there are also valuable resources in other languages outside the scope of the Project.

The interpretation of libertarianism taken in the Project is wide, although not all those listed here interpret it within such broad boundaries. In particular, links are provided to left-libertarian, right-libertarian and non-partisan sources. No link should be taken to indicate either endorsement of that organization by the University, or vice versa.
