Searching for Information
|
Subject Directories |
Information in subject directories is organised into subject areas by people. There will not be the vast quantity of information that you would find by using a search engine but what you do find should be related to your search topic. A safer way for children to search for information.
|
|
Your online guide to Christchurch and Canterbury.
|
|
New Zealand search directory
|
|
|
|
Ask Earl, Sports, Study Zone - and much more
|
Search Engines
|
Search engines comb through millions of websites (and often return millions of hits). Everything related to your search should be returned by the search engine although much of it may not be related to your topic and could take time to wade through. Great for obscure topics but success often depends on the terms you search by.
