"The Way It Is - Where We Might Be Going" by Nancy Mulvany

Nancy Mulvany referenced several Web sites during her talk about indexing and the World Wide Web. These Web sites are listed below:

Digital Future Coalition: http://www.ari.net/dfc. Among other topics, this group is concerned with the coexistence of indexing and cataloguing techniques with the technology of the World Wide Web.
Memex: http://www.cs.brown.edu/memex. The Memex and Beyond web site is an attempt to combine all hypertext research into one Web site.
Northern Web Search Engine Tutorial for Web Designers: http://www.digital-cafe.com/~webmaster/set01.html. Here you can learn how search engines are designed and written by programmers (and not indexers!).
WebCrawler Search Tickler: http://webcrawler.com/WebCrawler/SearchTicker.html. This site allows one to see what people are actually searching for using the WebCrawler search tools.
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): http://www.w3.org/pub/www. The W3C is solely responsible for developing standards for the Web.

Nancy's own web site is at http://www.well.com/~nmulvany.

"Indexing the Airwaves: How NPR Considers All Things"

The Web address for National Public Radio is http://www.npr.org.
