- Abstract
- The explosion of the use of the Internet by the genral public, particularly via the WWW, has given rise to the proliferation of semiprofessional attempts to give some subject based access to Internet resources via hierarchical guides (hotlists) on Web search engines such as Yahoo and Magellan. Examines the structure and principles of various hierachical lists, and compares them, when possible, to broad LCC and DDC schemes, and to LCSH. Explores the approaches taken by non librarians in their efforts to organize and provide access to materials on the Internet. Focuses on the dichotomy between the hierarchical 'browse' and the analytical 'search' approaches to finding materials, as exemplified by these various attempts to organize the Internet
