Internet Public Library
http://ipl.org/ref/ |
Developed and maintained by the University of Michigan, this site leads to "sources that are selected according to ease of use, quality, quantity of information, frequency of updating, and authoritativeness". Each site has a short description so it is easier to see what would be helpful to you. |

WWW Virtual Library

A comprehensive site rather than a selective one. Not the
biggest on the web, the site says of itself "the VL pages are widely recognized
as being among the highest quality guides to particular sections on the Web".

INFOMINE
http://lib-www.ucr.edu/
|
This site developed at the University of California at Riverside is intended for helping researchers at the university. It is easy to use and once you choose a topic and search, each site is selected and annotated to tell you why it would be helpful. The list of sites for WWW resources for Kindergarten - 12th grade has lots of good suggestions for students in that age group too.

BUBL 5:15
http://bubl.ac.uk/link/
|
Created in the UK. The 5 and 15 in the title of this source note that each subject or topic lists at least 5 and up to 15 selected sites and subject specific search services. Searching is easy not only by subject (for ex. Ancient and Medieval Worlds) but also by country and Dewey Decimal Classification.

Internet Tool Box
http://www.library.umass.edu/
toolbox/inet2.html
|
A place to get a quick start to find resources on the Internet.
|
Webrary Links
http://www.webrary.org
/ref/weblinksmenu.html
|
The librarians of the Morton Grove Public Library outside Chicago selected these links that they consider "the most useful and informational web sites" and they organize it by subject within Dewey Decimal classification. So you can "search the virtual stacks".
|
These WWW sites open up the whole world of information on the Internet by
organizing it into broad subject areas and then smaller topics. Use subject
searching to browse through the broad list of sites then narrow your search
by choosing more specific topics within that site (for example, choose History,
then, Ancient and Medieval World, then Daily Life). Use the option to search
for a word or phrase if you have a precise term or name (for example, Thomas Jefferson or Monticello).
Most of the nine were sites selected for their content and quality.
