Search Engines
and Subject Directories
Search engines use computer guided programs
that search the contents of Web pages and index them. Metasearch
engines query multiple search engines' databases simultaneously.
The reference librarian acts as your human service engine. Subject
directories contain human-compiled Internet sources that are
arranged and classified in hierachial topics. Listed below are
links to some of the frequently used search engines, metasearch
