Descripció
Resum:INFOMINE is a World Wide Web virtual library which provides indexing, annotations, and links to Internet resources of scholarly use to the academic community. Thousands of Internet resources covering most major disciplines are present. A custom hypertext markup language (HTML) converter and database manager allow librarians with subject expertise but no HTML experience (or those with HTML knowledge but no time to maintain several HTML indexes) to contribute to and maintain INFOMINE in a time-efficient manner. INFOMINE was developed by the Library of the University of California, Riverside. It was one of the first Web-based, academic virtual libraries, as well as one of the first to develop a system combining the advantages of the hypertext and multimedia capabilities of the Web with the organizational and retrieval functions of a database manager. Some of INFOMINE's important features and services, which remain unique among Internet resource collections, are described.
