A method and apparatus are provided for accessing, viewing and manipulating data stored in a computer system (900). This is achieved by selecting one or more of the non-modifiable data objects (270) stored in a computer system (900), creating references to a reference list (240). The reference list is then manipulated (280) to allow a user to add to, remove from (250) or search (210) the references in the list. In some embodiments, different operations are performed by different computers (900, 910, 920) connected to a computer network (930) such as the Internet (950). In such cases, data objects are stored on a server computer (910) over the network (930). A reference list is stored on the client computers (900, 920) and can be directly manipulated by the user without a need for further interaction with the server computer (910).
