Failed to find a Home Page above that deals with your particular interest?
You need to use a "SEARCH ENGINE" or a "WEB DIRECTORY"
to help you find what you want. A search engine is an automated Web site
that allows you to type in a topic. The search engine then searches a database
to see if any Home Pages deal with that topic. If so, you can click on the name
of that page and go there. Directories are similar, but real people have actually
looked at each site listed, and categorized it. My favorites are AltaVista,
and Google, because of their huge databases
and powerful search algorithms. Another good resource is Northern
Light, because, you can locate and, for a fee, download copyrighted journal
and magazine articles.
