MIT Libraries has a resource callled the Dewey Research Advisor. The advisor, currently in beta release, lists common research questions and points to resources to help find the answers.

It appears that Wharton uses an identical system, only they call it the Business FAQ. I’ve tried to incorporate something like this in the Biz Wiki, and both of these resources give me some new ideas to consider.
