Web Collection Development
Electronic and/or Print Resources
You can increase your awareness of what's new on the Web by regularly reading electronic and/or print "collection development" sources.
Magazines
I have found that the journals, like the Web they write about, are constantly changing and evolving. Don't be surprised if your favorite review journal suddenly stops rating sites and starts covering business on the Web.
Luckily there always seems to be something new springing up to fill the void.
My current favorite print resource is:
- Yahoo! Internet Life
http://www.zdnet.com/yil/
Professional journals, daily newspapers and popular magazines also feature articles on the Web which frequently list and/or review sites.
