Can get lots of things for free @ local library. Start with broad format catagories & description of that catagory and provide links to narrower catagories. May want description on second page or as a mouseover/rollover popup description box. Provide for School, governmental and private sub catagories and/or aggregate by topic War crimes, human rights, international law etc. there will be crossover.

Law Libraries
Collections consist primarily of materials for legal research and study, including case law, federal and state statutes, international legal agreements, treatises, reference works, legal periodicals, and electronic search tools. A law library maintained by a court, law school, or legal firm is normally managed by a law librarian who may hold a J.D. degree in addition to the M.L.S. or M.L.I.S.

Databases, Federated Serach & Virtual Libraries
Databases: A large, regularly updated file of digitized information (bibliographic records, abstracts, full-text documents, directory entries, images, statistics, etc.) related to a specific subject or field, consisting of records of uniform format organized for ease and speed of search and retrieval and managed with the aid of database management system (DBMS) software. Content is created by the database producer, which usually publishes a print version and leases the content to one or more database vendors that provide electronic access to the data after it has been converted to machine-readable form, usually on CD-ROM or online via the Internet, using proprietary search software. Most databases used in libraries are catalogs, periodical indexes, abstracting services, and full-text reference resources leased annually under licensing agreements that limit access to registered borrowers and library staff.
Federated Serach: A search for information using software designed to query multiple networked information resources via a single interface. The new generation of federated search engines available in the 21st century are designed to search local and remote library catalogs, abstracting and indexing databases, full-text aggregator databases, and digital repositories using standardized protocols, such as Z39.50. Some federated search systems provide deduping and rank results by relevance or allow sorting by other criteria. The current lack of a uniform authentication standard means that some databases are not accessible to federated search services.
Virtual Library: A "library without walls" in which the collections exist in electronically accessible in digital format via computer networks. Such libraries exist only on a very limited scale. The term digital library is more appropriate because virtual (borrowed from "virtual reality") suggests that the experience of using such a library is not the same as the "real" thing when in fact the experience of reading or viewing a document on a computer screen may be qualitatively different from reading the same publication in print, but the information content is the same regardless of format.

OPACs & WebPacs
An acronym for online public access catalog, a database composed of bibliographic records describing the books and other materials owned by a library or library system, accessible via public terminals or workstations. Most online catalogs are searchable by author, title, subject, and keywords and allow users to print, download, or export records to an e-mail account.
WebPac :An online public access catalog (OPAC) that uses a graphical user interface (GUI) accessible via the World Wide Web, as opposed to a text-based interface accessible via Telnet.
