We concur with the views of Demas, McDonald and Lawrence that discrete Internet
resources should serve as the units to be identified and described within a
virtual library collection:
"... [T]itle by title selection of high quality
resources is one of the most important values
librarians can add in providing access to information
resources, including those accessible via the Internet.
A careful selection of resources is the touchstone of
the electronic library"(Demas, McDonald and Lawrence,
1995:280).
