how to compile a webliography

Way back in the late 80s early 90s  several software packages were
available for generating nice and tidy bibliographies out of records
retrieved from Dialog, Datastar, and other online services (I remember one
of the packages was ProCite, and you could instruct it to format the
bibliographies according to any number of style sheets - Chicago, MLA,
Turabian, etc.)

Is there some comparable way of creating a "webliography" from sites on
the web? Perhaps I'm overlooking some obvious solution, but it would
be useful for me to be able to compile an hyperlinked/annotated list of
"hits" after a subject search on the internet. What I have in mind
would be very similar to the "hit lists" compiled by search engines like
Alta Vista or Infoseek. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks, Petter Naess
