在現代資訊科技的協助下，今日的Internet就像是一巨大的虛擬圖書館。
然而與傳統圖書館不同的是在這座虛擬圖書館裡，許多資訊收集與服務的工作已
逐漸由自動化的電腦所取代。這個以電腦為主體所建立起的圖書館從資源收集以
至分類整理，其所運用的方式與傳統以人為主體的圖書館的有著相當大的差距。
由於Internet的資源過於龐大，為了有效地收集與整理這些資源以免氾濫成災，近
來有關Tnternet資源收集與整理的研究，特別是資源分類目錄的建立與資源自動
收集系統的設計，皆相當蓬勃。可惜也許是這類研究發展過於迅速，現有文獻對
於這個主題的討論仍相當有限，為此本文嘗試就目前Internet上主要資源收集與整
理的方法，特別是資源分類目錄與資源自動收集方面，做一粗淺的比較與分析，
此外本文也將對圖書館的角色做若干討論。

　　　　　Through the utilization ofinformation technology. Internetnowadays has
become a real "VirtualLibrary" . On contrast to a traditionallibrary scenario, many
tasks such asinformation collection and serviceshave been gradually replaced by
au-tomatic computer processing in thishuge virtual library. In this computer-oriented
environment, the processingof resource collection and organizationis rather different
from that of atraditional library which is basicallymanual-oriented. As the resources
inthe Internet have been grown so fastand enormously, to prevent informa-tion
overflow and to provide an ef-fective way of control has become amajor research
issue. Recently there are many researches on the resourcecollection and organization
beini; discussed extensively, especially on theconstruction of Internet resource catalog
(yellow page) and design of automatic resource collection. As the research on this
topic is quite new andchanging rapidly, there is few- literature being found so far.
Therefore,this article attempts to investigate andgive analytical comparisons of
someimportant Internet resource collc'ctionand organization methods,
especiallyresource catalog and automatic resource collection methods. The role ofa
Library in such an environment willalso be discussed.
