             5. INFOMINE: Scholarly Internet Resource Collections, Physical Sciences, 
                                   Engineering , Computing and Math.

Consisting of several virtual libraries, the INFOMINE system is supported by 20 bibliographers and reference librarians at several campuses of the University of California and California State University systems, plus other colleges and universities.

Selectors use the Library of Congress subject headings and other keywords to catalog the resources, and the search results include a nice link to "terms leading to related sources."  Search tips are prominent, and the site contains an explaination to their subject organization and indexing terminology, as well as instructions on how to classify the INFOMINE resources (INFOMINE, 1996).  Contributors are instructed to use full sentences in their annotations, which make entries a bit easier to read than sites using brief phrases, such as Yahoo and Google.
