Abstract: A method and system for online library marketplace are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method comprises receiving a first user input from a first user. The first user input establishes ownership rights to a non-modifiable data object stored in a permanent archive. A second user input is received from the first user, the second user input selecting a first fee for a second user to pay to access the non-modifiable data object. Access is granted to the non-modifiable data object to the second user upon payment of the first fee.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for accessing, viewing and manipulating data stored in a computer system. This is achieved by selecting one or more of the non-modifiable data objects stored in a computer system, creating references to the selected objects and adding the references to a reference list. The reference list is then manipulated to allow a user to add to, remove from or search the references in the reference list. In some embodiments, different operations are performed by different computers connected to a computer network such as the Internet. In such cases, data objects are stored on a server computer and searched by client computers connected to the server computer over the network. A reference list is stored on the client computers and can be directly manipulated by the user without a need for further interaction with the server computer.
