The web portal further accesses the bookshelf based on search input and based on technology-specific terminology data. The card catalog and bookshelf are accessed over a networking connection such as the Internet-based World Wide Web. The method of the present invention provides for maintaining a card catalog over a networking connection based on collaboration input from a steward. A bookshelf of links is maintained over the networking connection based on entries of the card catalog. The method further provides for accessing the bookshelf based on search input from a user.
