How about looking at the Biodiversity Heritage Library (http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/). This is an open access library formed initially by 10 libraries, museums and research institutions that focus on biodiversity information. Now there are 28 European members (BHL-Europe), 2 new members in the original BHL. China is about to sign an MOU for BHL China and the Atlas of Living Australia is actively investigating joining.
