Who indexes the Web?
The Web: gigantic and growing larger; many search engines but few indexes; no quality control; and an increasing number of users who remain confident that anyone can find anything with one quick search! Reliable sites exist that review and categorize helpful Web sites, and will help you locate appropriate Web sources to answer questions. (See sidebar.) An interesting approach to organizing recommended Web sites is the Webrary, a service of the Morton Grove Public Library. It “consists of links to the most useful reference and informational Web sites, organized by subject according to Dewey Decimal System call numbers.” Organizing bookmarks by Dewey would help put library materials together with related Web materials.
