[Web4lib] Ready Reference Web Sites

[Christopher Barr]

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.
