The closest thing to a standard, useful, Scheme library:

http://srfi.schemers.org

Sadly, they seem to be having a DNS problem right now.

Note that all SRFI are not supported everywhere, and it seems that some
of them are widely considered as ill-conceived. Yet, that is still a
very useful resource.

Note also, that all supported SRFI resources may not be available
immediately in a Scheme implementation. For example, with guile you have
to import the relevant module.
