Webography
From HandWiki
A webography (from web and the suffix -graphy, from Ancient Greek verb γράφω gráphō, "to write") is a list of websites that pertain to a given topic. The similar term webliography is adapted from bibliography, having its contents be online resources rather than books and academic journals. Research has been conducted comparing webographies to traditional bibliographies.[1][2] In the early days of the internet, lists of web links were vital because search engines were not well-developed, so digital bookmarks and similar lists became essential in order to find a particular website again.[3]
