1.c. List of Topic-Oriented Research Directories
Begin your search for information here. Because these are topic-oriented directories, you may find quality information more quickly or reliably than generic search engines.
The first section below lists standard search engines; the next section lists education-oriented search engines.
Searching Tips
Not all search engines locate the same resources. Use a few different search engines to get better results.
Put words you want to appear together in quotes. For example search for "networked projects" or "Internet Projects".
Use the word "And" between words or the "+" sign directly before a word to indicate that both the words must appear in the Web sites found by the search engine. For example, you may search for "networked projects" AND history. or +Brazil +"field trip".
Define several terms you can use to search. For example, you may want to search for "project registries", "virtual field trips", "information exchanges", etc.
