Biosciences Virtual Library
The Virtual Library is the oldest catalog of the web. It is run by a group of volunteers who compile pages of key links for their area of expertise. Though it is not the biggest index of the web, the VL pages are widely recognized as being amongst the highest quality guides to particular sections of the web.
