Subject Directories: Library

There are many subject directories created by reference librarians who evaluate websites based on criteria of high quality and credibility.  These websites are then organized into subject guides so they may be more easily found and used in research. Usually each website listed is described in a brief annotation. Below are several examples.

Michigan eLibrary

Librarians' Internet Index
http://lii.org

MeL highlights the most important sources for people living in Michigan, although people from all over the world use this collection of high quality websites.

Probably the largest collection of reliable, trustworthy, librarian-selected Internet resources available today. Also includes an option to sign up for a free weekly newsletter about the most recently selected sites.
