Abstract

SUMMARY This article focuses on Science Net, a project that uses the Dewcy Decimal Classification (DDC) for ordering a set of large files of links for K-12 science curriculum resources for Canadian schools. The project aims to provide an alternative to the rigours of sorting through search engine results by providing what arc in effect virtual library shelves, which support online browsing that is similar to conventional browsing of library shelves. The article also discusses the adaptation of the Dublin Core data elements to fashion a template for cataloguing not simply the records that will appear in Science Net, but those that will also comprise the Virtual Reference Library project. The cataloguing and indexing procedures developed for both projects are described.
