The Electronic Literature Directory is a resource for readers and writers of born-digital literature. Created by the Electronic Literature Organization, it provides an extensive database listing electronic works, their authors, and their publishers. The descriptive entries are drafted by a community of e-lit authors who also tag each work and identify the techniques used in its creation. Discussions of entries are ongoing and offer a networked, peer-to-peer model for literary review.

Some works seem, at first blush, to identify themselves as literary, others only appear so after careful reading and consideration. The grand result is that the ELD itself is something of a microcosm of the larger macrocosm from which it is drawn--a sprawling and chaotic assemblage of voices writing about an equally sprawling and chaotic body of work.
