Librarians Get It, says Web Review

[Amy Tracy Wells]

In our little corner of the world, we have been working on creating a
catalog of evaluated Internet sites which seeks to encompass the
humanities, social and hard sciences from the Scout Report. We call it the
Scout Report Signpost
http://www.signpost.org/

Give it a spin and let us know what you think!
