Methods and "best" collecting tools/sites will be discussed by experienced selectors at two levels, beginning and advanced collection, in major subject areas such as physical sciences, government information, arts, social sciences, humanities and others to be arranged. This will be a practical session of use to all Internet resource selectors.

Each participant will discuss/provide lists of resources, which they have found to be most productive. The final 15 minutes will be a discussion of general Internet navigators (e.g., Lycos) which panelists have found to be most useful.
