II. Directories

• Selected & organized by humans rather than machines
• More attention given to quality
• Advantage: Good sources of quality sites on the Web, many are diligently maintained
• Disadvantages: Can have poor fit with individual needs
• Impossible to list everything on a subject or keep up to date
• Sample sites:
  • Indiana University Music Library
    http://www.music.indiana.edu/music_resources
  • Internet Resources for Scholars (Harvard University Music Library) http://www.rism.harvard.edu/MusicLibrary/InternetResources.html
  • University of California Berkeley Music Library - Music Internet Sources http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MUSI/internet.html
  • Yahoo
    http://www.yahoo.com/Entertainment/Music
  • Sibelius Academy
    http://www.siba.fi/Kulttuuripalvelut/music.html

Exercise: use one of the directories to find a comprehensive website devoted to a particular subject (e.g., opera, jazz)
