Title

Growing pains at REESWeb : thoughts on restructuring a link site which has outgrown its organization

Source

Abstract

REESWeb (Russian and East European Studies Internet Resources) is an annotated, subject specific link site, part of the WWW Virtual Library, begun in 1993. In its 4 years it has become a huge site and difficult to use. A reorganization using frames and shortened pages helped, but its structure still causes problems for its users, resulting from: lack of a search engine; split categories; idiosyncratic terminology and idiosyncratic subcategorization. The search engine problem is expected to improve when the site moves to another server and the creation of a site map should help. However, the site still needs browsability if it is to be effective. Considers other ways of reorganizing REESWeb, including subject cataloguing and indexing
