New Additions to _Beyond Bookmarks: Schemes for Organizing the Web_

[Gerry Mckiernan]

                 New Additions to _Beyond Bookmarks_

   I am pleased  to announce the addition of several new  Web sites to _Beyond Bookmarks_, my clearinghouse devoted to Web sites that have applied or adapted standard library classification schemes and/or controlled vocabularies for organizing Web resources.

    Among the noteworthy additions are the number of sites which comprise the Finnish Virtual Library which have applied both national and well as standard controlled vocabularies to Web resources. This collections and its various components represent the most comprehensive application of controlled vocabularies to my knowledge. I invite my colleagues to review these at their convenience and invite the nomination of other sites that have applied standard (or national) controlled vocabularies and/or
classification(s)  to organize Web sites for inclusion in the next update of _Beyond Bookmarks_.

    _Beyond Bookmarks_ is located at

BTW: I was pleased to learn about the forthcoming conference
entitled "Controlled Vocabularies and the Internet" to be held at the National Library of Medicine on September 29, 1999. A preliminary program for the conference is available at
