Wed Directories, sometimes called Subject lists, are collections of web sites that have been selected and reviewed by a group of people. Some web directories evaluate web sites for certain content and others only evaluate by subject so that the web site can be categorized correctly. **Use a web directory if you are looking for information on a general topic such as "dolphins" or "home-based business".** A web directory is the best way for kids to locate information.

Search engines index words that are on webpages; these words are all dumped into a large searchable database. A search engine does NOT evaluate any web page content or subject. This means if you do a search for "dolphins" you will get pages that are about the mammal as well as the football team! **Use a search engine if you could not find the information using a web directory or if you are looking for very specific and unique information.** It is often helpful to become acquainted with one search engine by reading that search engine's help pages.
