Specialized Search engines. These are also known as subject directories. They're different from general search engines like Google and Yahoo:

  • Individuals, not automated programs or "crawlers" gather the sites.
  • The sites tend to be on specific topics and of high quality.
  • The sites are usually annotated.

Two examples are the Librarians' Index to the Internet and Infomine. Click on the icons below to try them:
