Additional
Strategies for finding good Web sites -
Specialized Directories
In
addition to the large, commercial directories, there are
small, specialized directories that are particularly helpful
for academic research. These are collections of Web sites
that have been evaluated and recommended by librarians and
other professionals. They frequently include annotations
and are available on the free Web.
