Yahoo - What librarians CAN do

[Wilfred Drew]

I am opposed to librarians trying to catalog the Internet.  We should be
concentrating on developing the subject guides as suggested by Eric
Rumsey.  Several years ago after I wrote Not Just Cows I issued a
challenge on PACS-L suggesting that each librarian and/or library pick a
subject and create a highly selective guide to online resources.  My
challenge was pretty much ignored.  Not Just Cows is such a guide.  It
is highly selective and does tend to reflect my likes and dislikes.  Why
can't each one of us select a narrow or broad subject and create a
selective yet comprehensive guide to internet/online resources?  We used
top write such things about the print literature. They are called
bibliographies.
