Searching the Internet lists some seach engines and directory sites. Since each one has its own "flavor," try as many as you have time for --- each one should come up with different links.

• Caveat: These sites seem to be worthwhile, but you should treat them as if they were scams
• If you think that a site is not worthwhile, send a note with an explanation. Or, if you find another beneficial site, please write its web address and a summary and email it to Webmaster
• Hint: Get on Internet early in the morning (5-7 am). You will beat most of the users on the east coast and those to the west of us in the earlier time zones.
• Take full advantage of your Guidance Department counselors and staff!
• In trying these web sites, when you find one that you like, mark it as a Favorite (Explorer) or create a Bookmark (Netscape) so that you can return to it easily.
