[Web4lib] Ready Reference Web Sites

The question now is how we make these giant link dumps usable. What kind of user is going to have the patience to sort through these giant pages with 100+ links? I would say that LSU and Purdue get close, but without a librarian on hand or tons of time how will these pages be used?

This is something I am dealing with at the moment on our site with subject guides where librarians somethimes want to include everything but the kitchen sink. I imagine undergrads who become overwhelmed and miss out on the resources they need.
