Abstract

Using the Internet can be an intimidating and frustrating experience, especially for beginners. Yet librarians, many of whom are novices, are increasingly asked to take on active roles in making the Internet a more usable information resource for their communities. What can librarians do to improve the value of the Internet and its information? In this article, Rosenfeld describes the concept of adding value to the Internet's information through repackaging its existing resources. To date, most of the attempts to make the Internet's information more usable focus on the tangible efforts of nonlibrarians: improved retrieval technologies and better-designed user interfaces. However, the intellectual effort of value-added repackaging may be of even greater importance to maling the Internet a valuable information environment. This article describes two successful examples: the creation of subject-oriented guides to the Internet's resources and the creation of a clearinghouse for such guides
