Help! How Do I Use These Links?

1. I link to individual pages, not just to home pages of sites. My links will identify good pages that are buried deep in a site.
2. I have organized my links by site, and sub-site. This way you can see at a glance what a particular site has to offer.
3. I set up a "Contents" and have navigation hot-links to make it easier to get between sections.
4. I display the web addresses (also known as URLs). It is nice to know where you are going.
5. I give a brief description of what I think is generally useful on each page.

These are home pages of a web site or sub-site. Generally they act as a table-of-contents, containing mostly local links to the rest of the site.

Up-to-date information about current activities and events. These pages are changed quite often, so check them regularly.

These pages give instructions on how to go on in your information quest, where to look next, and increase your level of overall expertise.

A web page that is designed to help you find or do something. It may be an index, guide, or even an online program.

The pages most researchers get really excited about. This is real data that has been made available online.

Collections of files, not designed to be looked at online, but made for downloading (using FTP) to your own computer. May often contain useful software.

Pages with the best collections of links to the multitude of other web sites. If you want to, you can follow all these until the wee hours of the morning.

Finally, you may see the following codes:

• (x) - Link did not work last time I checked.
• (xx) - Link did not work last 2 times I checked.
• Three strikes and they are out. (If I cannot find where they moved to.)
