The Librarian’s Index to the Internet
Maintained by Karen G. Schneider; a program of The Library of California, with
funding from
various government and grant agencies. “Information you can trust.” A
searchable and browsable, annotated, subject directory of 12,000+ Internet
resources selected and evaluated
by librarians for their usefulness. Each listing is reviewed at least
twice before being added to LII, and is indexed using Library of
Congress Subject Headings.
The Scout Report Archives
Maintained
by the Department of Computer
Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison, under the sponsorship of the
National Science Foundation. "Surf smarter, not longer." A searchable
and browsable database of over 17,000 critical annotations of carefully selected,
high-quality
Internet resources. Each annotation seeks to provide an overall
analysis of each site including general content attribution (authors,
etc.), currency, availability, accessibility, and presentation.
Professional librarians, educators, and subject content specialists
select, research, and annotate each resource. The majority of items
reviewed are freely accessible.
The Invisible Web Directory
Maintained by Chris Sherman and Gary Price as a companion to their book
The Invisible Web: Finding Hidden Internet Resources Search Engines
Can't See. Includes a directory of some of the best resources the
Invisible Web has to offer. The directory includes resources that are
informative, of high quality, and contain worthy information from
reliable information providers that are not visible to general-purpose
search engines. Precedence is given to resources that are freely
available on the Web, although a few select resources that are either
free to search but have resulting fee-based content, charge a small fee
to search and a fee to access full-records, or require registration are
included.
Image Sites
Maintained by Tasi (Technical Advisory Service for
Images), a UK-based organization that provides advice and guidance to
the higher education community on using digital images to support
teaching, learning, and research. Searchable database of a wide range
of digital image collections and projects.
