Meta-Links
What are Meta-Links
Meta-links sites are sites where someone has collected numerous web addresses
and organised
them under specific headings. They have also created links (which are
like two-touch speed dials
on a telephone) that enable the user to go straight from that site
to the information that is sought. If
we were to apply the telephone metaphor further, meta-links sites are
like the yellow-pages
directory, because they provides easy access to useful contacts under
predetermined subject areas.
Some social work meta-links sites on the WWW are:
-
Information For Practice. Updated information for social workers complied by Dr Gary Holden, University of New York, USA, who was the originator of the World Wide Web Resources for Social Workers Website that closed 31 January 2005.
-
Social Work and Social
Services Web Sites is compiled and managed by George Warren
Brown, School of Social Work, Washington University, St Louis, USA. It
also contains an impressive set of links on a wide range of subjects.
-
Care and Health
contains an impressive number of links over a wide range of subject areas
and is well worth a visit. Conny Carnuth, a social work practitioner in
the UK, who ran the Virtual Social Work site helped compile this site.
