How to search the Internet

  • If you have a broad topic (such as Japan or plants),  start with directories.  Directories are collections of web sites on specific topics.

    Recommended Directories

    AnimalSearch
    A collection of good animal-related sites.

    Awesome Library for Kids

  • If you can't find your information in a directory or if you have a narrow topic (such as Japanese emperors or flowering plants), try these databases and search engines.
