Our mission is to facilitate intellectual access to information resources on the Internet. In order to avoid duplication of effort, our focus is intentionally narrow. For this reason, the Clearinghouse does not accept guides to resources that are not Internet-based (e.g., annotated bibliographies), nor does the Clearinghouse accept guides to a single site's Internet-based resources.
