Collections
Collections are deliberate bundles of resources around a learning goal, topic, audience, or useful combination.
They are not another subject taxonomy. Fields tell you what an area is; collections answer questions such as where should I start?, what should I combine?, or what is worth comparing?
Featured collections

Collection rules
A collection should be small enough to understand and strong enough to be useful. It may cross fields, providers and resource types.
Avoid turning a collection into a copy of a field page. Link to the original field or resource where more breadth is needed.
