=Aesop's Fables Online Collection: Fables, Fairy Tales, and Folklore=

 * Navigation is easy, but simple. There aren't a lot of high-tech bells and whistles visually, but the site seems to favor content over that.
 * Fables are organized alphabetically, in sections for faster loading.
 * Fairy Tales and other materials are arranged topically (e.g. "Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen").
 * A limited number of sections have the option to hear aloud.
 * A limited number of sections also contain images, but the archive is mostly text.
 * It is unclear from where both the audio and visual components came (no citations).
 * The audience seems to be a casual adult to academic one.
 * The lack of visual material and long pages of text imply a lack of consideration for a younger audience.
 * There is no search option.
 * The lack of a search feature is limiting, but not impossible to work around. Search engines like google allow users to search for particular terms on particular sites. Because the archive is html searchable, savvy users could get around the lack of a search option provided by the actual site.
 * There is no context: these are the primary text materials only, and makes no apologies it. The brief introductory blurb assumes that users know what Aesop's Fables (and the other materials on the site) are, and a basic familiarity with them.

All in all, it could be a valuable resource of public domain materials, despite its limitations. If one has a basic familiarity with the content, one can easily find what one is looking for (and then some). It's organized and easy to get around, but doesn't provide anything but the bare-bones amount for doing so. In addition to search, it might be nice to see alternate organization options, as well, based on topical of thematic elements (e.g. "Stories about witches" or "Stories involving food").
