Description
Summary:In Fall 1995, a World Wide Web (WWW) virtual library was established to investigate the applicability of using a conventional library classification scheme as an organizational framework for enhancing identification, access and use of Internet resources (McKiernan 1995).

This article describes CyberStacks(sm) and highlights advantages and limitations of this resource.
