Resursside

A resursside, often referred to as a resource page, is a web page or a dedicated section within a website that gathers and presents resources related to a specific topic. The term is used in education, research portals, and knowledge-management contexts to describe a curated collection rather than a random listing of links.

Its purpose is to help users quickly discover relevant sources, assess their relevance and reliability, and access the materials directly. A resursside may link to external resources such as articles, datasets, videos, or tools, and may include original summaries or annotations to provide context and evaluation.

Typical content includes resource entries with metadata: title, type (article, dataset, tool, guide), description, author or publisher, date or version, language, license or access status, and a link. Some resurssider also provide categories or tags, search and filtering options, and an overview or introduction to the topic.

Organization varies: some resurssider are flat lists, while others use hierarchical categories, taxonomies, or topical sections. Indications of quality are often provided through editorial notes, ratings, or citations, and many pages record revisions and contributors to support accountability.

Creation and governance are important aspects; resurssider may be created by librarians, educators, researchers, or community editors and may rely on user contributions moderated by editors. Editorial policies typically cover inclusion criteria, licensing, and update schedules to maintain accuracy and usefulness.

In practice, resurssider appear in course portals offering readings, in library guides or research portals listing datasets and standards, and in project wikis that centralize useful resources for a given topic. See also: resource hub, knowledge base, library guide, curated list.
