The site was not created for academic or educational purposes and its architecture limits retrieval to keyword searching and browsing by media type and artist/project name. In addition, sustainability is a concern for this website as it was never intended to be a permanent archive. Still, there is no comparable commercial source for the content on UbuWeb so it is valuable as a resource for libraries to point users toward so long as librarians are aware of its limitations.
