I'm a little confused by the term "library oriented lists"  and also that you state that 
"a variety of efforts put forward to organize Internet information resources specifically for librarians."

Librarians organized web resources for the user community.  
I think that this is a matter of one's perspective.

What is a "library oriented list" today ?
