1. Networked Information Resources
Introduction & orientation

2. Resources
Internal vs. external

3. Classification of networked resources
By domains (gov, edu, com…)
By accessibility (open or proprietary)
By indexing methods (machine vs. human indexing)
By publication status
By intended audiences (expert vs. layperson)
By access methods (push vs. pull; filtering vs. searching)

4. Accessible by the public
Search engines
Web directories
Subject gateways/pathfinders
Reference services
Open access repositories
OPAC (Open Public Access Catalog)

5. Search engines General purpose: teoma , Google, Ms. Dewey
Meta-search engine: Dogpile, metacrawler
Clustering search engine: vivisimo
Wizard of OZ ChaCha (‘crowdsourcing’)

6. Web directories Google Directories Yahoo Directory
Internet Public Library

7. Subject pathfinders/research guides
A selective guide to information pertinent to the subject area:
selection, description, classification
Some examples:
Subject pathfinder (NUS library)
Social Science Information Gateways
Organizing Medical Networked Information

8. Virtual references Virtual Reference Taiwan
Ask a librarian service at Library of Congress

9. OPACs
NTU library
Union catalog (e.g. Meta Cat , NBINET)

10. Open access and electronic journals
E-prints archives (Institution repository):
臺大機構典藏系統
E-prints in LIS,
Los Alamos National Laboratory's physics preprint
Pure electronic journals
Digital Library Magazine
Open Access Journal Directory

11. Institutional repository
an online locus for collecting and preserving the intellectual of an institution, particularly a research institution.
This would include materials such as research journal articles (before (preprints) and after (postprints) undergoing peer review, and digital versions of theses and dissertations, but it might also include other digital assets generated by normal academic life, such as administrative documents, course notes, or learning objects.

12. Not accessible by the pubic
Proprietary databases
Full text of serial titles (e.g. ELSEVIER ScienceDirect)
Indexing and abstracting databases (e.g. LISA)
Citation database: Web of Science , Scopus

13. The growth of electronic resources in libraries
Median growth rate of expenditures on electronic resources among ARL members

14. Publication status Newsgroup, BBS, Email
Gray literature (pre-prints, technical reports, white papers, trade literature, theses…)
Published literature (primary, secondary and tertiary)

15. Primary literature
Works that make an original contribution to research
Provides specifics on all aspects of the study being documented, from research methodology to scientific results and conclusions.
In the forms of journal articles, conference proceedings, and dissertation/theses

16. Secondary literature
Bibliographic databases: Web-based search interface to bibliographic records of primary and tertiary literature (indexes and abstracts services)

17. Tertiary literature
Books: generally published at least 2-3 years after the research on which they are based.
Provide synthesized evaluated information know at the time of publication

19. Impacts on librarianship
Ownership/archiving vs. access
Participation in knowledge production process
Library-sponsored journals (e.g. highwire press); institutional repository
End-user searching
Information literacy; cognitive authority
Novel knowledge discovery tool
Data and text mining
Blurring of institutional boundaries
Library, archives, museum, media
