At the risk of sounding repetitive, there are many ways to find information on the Internet. You can carry out a subject search using an Internet search engine, and this process is described briefly in the previous chapter.
Search engines are powerful but sometimes overwhelming.
Multidisciplinary and subject-specific Internet directories can help you navigate the maze. In this section I describe two reliable multisciplinary information resources, and in the next sections you will find information on how to tap into specialized information resources. Listings include discussion lists, Internet interest groups, Usenet news groups, forums, etc. The Directory is divided into 50 disciplinary chapters, each one prepared by a subject specialist.
