DIRECTORIES or Subject Guides

Become one of the best surfers!
	A DIRECTORY or Subject Guide organizes pre-selected Web sites into subject areas.  Directories are created by human indexing.
	A DIRECTORY or Subject Guide will allow you to search for 'search strings' or words, just like a LIVE Search Engine, but will also let you click through a menu (or a heirachy) to find information on your topic.  For example, you could select more specific subjects, like: Computers - - Internet - - Web development  - - Web graphics
	A DIRECTORY or Subject Guide will usually give you a SMALLER results list, but the results will be much more SPECIFIC for your topic!
	Because a DIRECTORY or Subject Guide is compiled and indexed by humans (which takes time) the information retrieved is often not up-to-date.
	Good examples of a DIRECTORY or Subject Guide include Google Directory and the Open Directory.
