5.  Virtual Reference Library (VRL)


This new site from the Toronto Public Library (TPL) offers a host of
handpicked and annotated online resources. These are located in the
VRL Subject Guide to the Internet (select "Search the Internet"), an
index of "about 8,000 - 10,000" sites that can be browsed by subject
guide or searched by keyword. While sites produced in Canada are a
particular focus, the index contains a large number of international
sites. Each of the sites is briefly described, including language
used and a Made in Canada flag where appropriate. Top-level subject
guides include Arts, Business and Economics, Education, Government,
Immigration and Citizenship, and many others. In addition to serving
as an Internet gateway, the VRL also hosts a number of the TPL's own
collections and indexes, including a digitized version of Toronto
City Directories from 1797 to 1900 (up to 1877 now available);
Archindont (Architectural Index for Ontario), an index of print
articles and books on buildings and architecture in Ontario; and of
course, the library's online catalog. [MD]
