Sorry, VLIB, but technology has evolved beyond you. Though the World Wide Web Virtual Library was probably once at the forefront for cataloging the data and websites of the Internet, it doesn't seem to have kept up with the 21st century. Too many of the links are broken and outdated, their search engine is behind the technology of Google or any of the others (when it isn't broken), and the information available can be more easily reached through one of those same search engines, or Wikipedia. Of the five or six topics I tried to research through this site, 4 of the links were broken or led to sites that were significantly lacking in information verse a quick search on either Google or Wikipedia. I can't say I'm likely to use this tool in the future.
