Modest Proposal:
Build Selective Master Clusters
If You Can’t Have A Personal Internet-Savvy Librarian

PROBLEM:
Too Many Choices.
The
number and variety of digital collections or digital
repositories or “referatories” of instructional resources
is growing rapidly, but not nearly as rapidly as the number of
individual links on the Web to attractive instructional
resources. Today
it is still likely that a search of one of these repositories
or collections will produce either
1. a list that is too long and contains too many items that are
inappropriate; or
2. nothing at all; or
3. a list that contains only a few items, none of which match
the needs of the searcher; or
4. a list that seems to omit items that should have been found.
