WWW Pages Aim to Guide Users to Best Resources by Subject
A recent estimate placed the size of the World Wide Web at more than 10 billion words in more than 21 million documents. Even casual users quickly become aware of the wide range in subject matter and quality of these documents. It seems everyone has something to say, and the Web is where they're saying it.
A new project of the Library Liaison Program aims to help users make more efficient use of the information resources available through the Web. Liaisons are selecting and organizing links to the best Internet sites by subject, identifying those most pertinent to the University of Connecticut's program. Particular attention is given to electronic journals and texts, databases, and other sources where scholarly content is being delivered via the Web.
In addition, these subject pages provide convenient links to important bibliographic services and tools such as the Library's Scholar's Express document-delivery service and the UnCover table-of-contents database. The pages thus attempt to gather into one convenient location connections to the principle networked services that support an academic discipline or program.
The subject pages are accessible from the Spirit home page under the heading "Information by Subject." At this writing, subject pages have been written for:
| African Studies | Communication Sciences |
| English | History |
| Latin American Studies | Linguistics |
| Modern Languages (including special sections for Classics, French, German, and Spanish) |
Philosophy |
Other pages are in preparation. If you have suggestions for improvement or if you want to be sure a page is established for your discipline, please contact your liaison librarian.
