The Librarians' Index to
the Internet is a searchable, annotated, subject directory of close to 3,000
Internet resources chosen for their usefulness to the public library user's
information needs.
We've based this subject
index on the durable legacy of Melvil Dewey (1851-1931), whose cataloging
system is followed by nearly every public library in the United States.
Obviously, this isn't a complete list of everything to be found from 000 to
999, but we think we've hit the high points.
Mission: Create, maintain
and run a quality reference service, based on traditional library models, for
the Internet community. In essence, the IPL Reference Center is a grand
experiment. After a lot of talk about providing reference services over the
Internet, we decided to seize the bull by the horns and actually try to do it.
Whether we are successful or not, we hope that our experiences can serve as
examples to the rest of the library and Internet communities.
Surf smarter, not longer.
Let the Internet Scout Project show you the way to the best resources on the
Internet--then you can choose what's best for you. Librarians and educators do
the filtering for you, reading hundreds of announcements each week looking for
the online resources most valuable to the education community.
