Building subject‐specific guides to Internet resources
Abstract
Librarians can provide leadership in the era of networked information retrieval by developing subject‐specific guides to Internet resources. The traditional skills of librarianship which include the identification, selection, evaluation, description, and organization of information resources are proving to be highly valuable in the Internet environment. A collection of these topical guides is currently accessible through the Clearinghouse for Subject‐Oriented Internet Resource Guides. The success of this Clearinghouse demonstrates the demand for value‐added collections of Internet information. Provides step‐by‐step instructions for selecting a topic, conducting online research, and building a useful subject‐specific guide.
