Abstract

This paper examines the organizational schemes of information resources provided in 38 academic business libraries or collections from 50 top-ranking business schools. A wide variety of schemes, ranging from a simple alphabetical list by database titles to research guides in which resources are inseparably embedded where relevant, were found to illustrate current practices in presenting information resources in the web-based environment. In addition, the paper develops a typology by which the schemes are classified and assessed by resource integration dimension, resource/user orientation dimension, and user-education approach dimension. This typology will assist in assessing existing schemes from the perspectives of both search and instruction as well as in developing new schemes.
