According to Alta Vista, one of the major Internet search engines,
there were 100-150 million Web pages in 1997 and increasing every day. I
bet at times you felt you’ve visited nearly every one of these as
you’ve ploughed through pages and pages of useless information surfing
through what seems like nothing but junk or out of date sites.
Access to the world wide web is easy but wouldn’t it be easier if you
could go straight to the page you are looking for. Wouldn’t it be easier
if just with three clicks and less than 30 seconds you could arrive at
your destination? The Hutchinson Directory of Web sites is a route-map to
the Internet taking you, at the click of the mouse, to the most
informative sites on the web.
This sensational CD is a collection of over 6,000 web sites especially
selected for their educational content by editorial specialists from
Helicon, publishers of the Hutchinson Educational Encyclopedia and other
high quality reference works and CD ROM’s. Simply place your CD ROM in
the drive and you will be launched into a world of invaluable information
in the form of a full electronic index of 14 major subject areas:
- Animals & Plants
- Medicine & Health
- Science
- Art & Design
- Music & Dance
- Society
- Thought & Belief
- History
- People & Places
- Sport
- The World
- Literature & Drama
- Politics, Economics & Law
- Technology & Computing
To help locate exactly what you want, each of these subject areas has
been further divided into subcategories providing a convenient grouping of
the sites you are interested in. The added advantage of using a CD-ROM to
search for your sites is that the index will automatically take you to the
most up to date version of the site.
