A master list of lists.
1/19/2004
We all love a good list: the best this, the most frequent that. Problem is, there are more lists than grains of sand on the beach. How to find that certain list you need? Leave it to a librarian, Gary Price, to come up with the answer: A list of lists. Price started his extremely useful "LOL" in 1998, before turning over maintenance chores to specialissues.com in 2002. LOL aggregates a large number of lists on companies, people, and resources that are freely available on the Internet. The lists range in content from the Top 100 Health Clubs to the Top Ceramic Companies by Segment. One drawback: The content is grouped by U.S. NAICS Codes but lacks a formal search capability. There is a master list of periodicals that the list uses as sources, complete with lists provided by those publications. So click on The American Lawyer link and you'll see the five lists put out by that publication over the last two years. Very handy.
