Subject: Candidates for _Beyond Bookmarks: Schemes for Organizing the Web_

   I am greatly interested in identifying additional Web collections
that have adopted/adapted Library classification schemes or controlled vocabularies for organizing Web resources for potential inclusion in my Web clearinghouse _Beyond Bookmarks: Schemes for Organizing the Web_.

   _Beyond Bookmarks_ is available at:

  http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/CTW.htm

     I am not only interested in the application of international schemes
such as Dewey and Library of Congress, but national and local library
schemes as well. Of particular interest is the application of a
*controlled vocabulary* for organizing or augmenting access to a Web
collection.

   In addition to library schemes, I am also interested in the application
of non-library standard schemes of organization to Web resources.

  As Always, Any and All contributions, queries, critiques, comments,
questions, concerns, etc., etc. are Most Welcome.

  Regards,
