INTERNET
 
Select search engines and subject directories for searching the web from the library's Internet Search Tools page.
 
You may start your search in Yahoo or Google, or in a much more selective subject directory such as the Librarians' Index to the Internet.
 
Please, also take a look at Vivisimo, which calls itself a "document clustering technology."  If you do a search, then click on cluster, and look on the left side of the page, you will find a sorted list of topics.
 
Find four WEB sites that have information on England.  List their URLS (WEB addresses that start with http) and describe the content of the WEB site and who produced it.
