- Using Internet Directories: Directories are best used for locating major resources on a topic and for more general types of research. Internet directories allow you to navigate through hierarchical subject menus to locate relevant resources. An advantage to using an Internet directory is that the sites are selected and categorized by humans. Once indexed, sites included in a directory are retrieved with a search engine. Directories typically index only the main (or home) pages of web sites rather than all of the pages of the sites. Listed below are some Internet directories selected on the basis of frequency of use, positive user reviews, and unique features.
- INFOMINE
