"Searchable, annotated subject directory of ... Internet resources selected and evaluated by librarians for their usefulness to users of public libraries."--About lii.org.

"The Librarian's Index to the Internet describes itself as "a searchable, annotated subject directory of more than 7,900 Internet resources selected and evaluated by librarians for their usefulness to users of public libraries." The site features an extensive directory of 40 clickable subject topics ranging from "arts" to "women". Users can also locate relevant web sites by using a detailed subject heading index or by using the keyword search box. A keyword search groups the results into categories; e.g. "Best of...," Directories," "Databases," and "Specific Resources." In addition, Librarian's Index to the Internet offers a free e-mail subscription to a current awareness service which features short annotations to the top 20 web resources added each week. This comprehensive online directory of critically evaluated web sites is an essential tool for any reference librarian."--Reviewed Mar.7, 2001. Updated Dec. 13, 2001.
