I have a feeling there are many such lists... Could some
knowledgable person make a list of them? ;-))))
A list of all known (to us) subject-oriented collections
going across protocol boundaries is
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/DataSources/bySubject/Virtual_libraries/
Overview.html
I append it without the links if you are interested.
One of the collections is one which we started, and which
we delegate by subject. Anyone interested in keeping up to
date the definitive list of internet resources in a
restricted subject area is VERY welcome to take on a
"department". Anyone who wants to start a new effort from
scratch should think about scaling. Similarly, if anyone
feels the urge to make another metalist, then why not just
add or take over ours? There is room for comptetive lists
but not yet at this level -- there ought to be a limited
number.
(BTW: If you start from http://info.cern.ch/default.html
you should find any collection, by subject, server type, etc
but I think you are only talking of arrangements by
subject)
