AltaVista Comprehensive WWW search engine. Easy to use, but takes skill to create quality searches which target enormous retrieval capability. Direct link to multi-lingual translation tool. Northern Light Powerful WWW search engine which sorts retrieval into useful categories. Optional fee-based links to full text from 5,400 journals, reviews, books, magazines and news wires. HotBot Worth checking out, especially if you don't want to learn how to use advanced features of other search engines. Lots of ads. Infomine Billed as a "scholarly Internet resource collection" and created by librarians, primarily at California universities. Links to lots of databases and full text resources. Browsable and searchable, with a clean interface. Yahoo! The best known of the WWW directories. Easy to use, once you learn how search results are organized.
