Internet
Public Library
The Internet Public Library (IPL) is a public service organization
and learning/teaching environment based at the University of Michigan
School of Information. Among other things, it provides library
services to Internet users by using a learn-by-doing approach,
develops technology and best practices for providing library services
via the Internet, and conducts research aimed at increasing the
body of knowledge about digital libraries and librarianship.
Librarians' Internet Index
The Librarians' Index to the Internet (LII) is a searchable, annotated
subject directory of more than 9,000 Internet resources selected
and evaluated by librarians for their usefulness to users of public
libraries. LII is used by both librarians and the general public
as a reliable and efficient guide to Internet resources. Their
motto: "Information You Can Trust."
World
Wide Web Virtual Library
The VL is the oldest catalog of the web, started by Tim Berners-Lee,
the creator of html and the web itself. Unlike commercial catalogs,
it is run by a loose confederation of volunteers, who compile
pages of key links for particular areas in which they are expert;
even though it isn't the biggest index of the web, the VL pages
are widely recognised as being amongst the highest-quality guides
to particular sections of the web.
