Abstract
The best aggregations of Web resources combine authoritative informati on, effective retrieval mechanisms, and dependability of access. The w orst can be incomplete, inaccurate, and difficult to use. Libraries ca n expand their Web holdings and maintain high-quality information serv ices by selecting aggregations based on objective standards of content , coherence, and functionality. These three criteria can also be used to plan the most effective presentation of aggregated resources in the library's catalog or Web pages.
