Virtual Libraries

• Informine - INFOMINE is intended for the introduction and use of Internet resources of relevance to faculty, students, and research staff at the university level. It is being offered as a virtual library and reference tool containing highly useful Internet resources including databases, electronic journals, electronic books, bulletin boards, listservs, online library card catalogs, articles and directories of researchers, among many other types of information.
• 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.
• Librarian's Index to the Internet - 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.
