|Search engines, lists, and libraries are among the best ways to begin
browsing the Web. A number of these starting places are listed below. The
search engines allow you to conduct keyword searches in the Web. The more
specific the search, the likelier it is that these engines will yield
useful information. That is, a search for the keyword "cartography" will
yield thousands of links that must then be browsed individually for
relevant information. A compound keyword search for "North American
Cartographic Information Society (NACIS)" will generally lead you directly
to this society's homepage. The syntax and search options vary among
search engines. Be sure to check the "help" and "advanced query" pages of
each search engine.
Some search engines also provide subject lists as noted below. The w3.org list of registered servers contains links to every server in the world registered with www.w3.org. University and public libraries are also good places to begin browsing the Web. They provide information about local collections as well as links to resources all over the world.
