Subject trees allow you to locate sites within a subject hierarchy. They are useful
when you need general information on a topic, or an overview of what is available on a
topic on the Internet, or when you do not have a clear and distinct idea of the
information you require. They are a great place to start looking.
Subject trees are a tool for browsing. The intention is that you navigate your way down
a hierarchy of ever more specific items, until you find what you are after.

Yahoo!
|
Yahoo! is recommended, especially since there
is now an Australian mirror site, so we don't have to compete against the United States
for access. It has extensive support. |
Yahooligans!
|
Yahooligans! is a site developed by the folk
from yahoo! for use by children. It is extensive, interesting and well supported. Probably
the best place for Kids to get started. It is also regularly updated. |
BUBL
|
Bubl LINK is similar to Yahoo!, but is
organised as a series of subject libraries in Dewey Classification order. It has an
academic approach, and promises to have more than half of the links outside the USA. |
Magellan
|
Magellan and Lycos are similar to Yahoo! Neither has a
specifically Australian site or content. |
Lycos
|
Clearinghouse |

reviewed, and features a standard system for evaluating web page quality. |
