Going Further

You have some extremely powerful resources at your disposal in finding things on the Web. A representative list includes

    Search Engines

    • Google
    • Altavista
    • Northern Light
    • Excite

    Directories (which are more or less compilations)

    • Yahoo
    • LookSmart
    • Open Directory

    Other More Specialized Tools

    • Network Solutions (Whois Directory)
    • PH and Phonebook Directories

One important thing that you can find on the Web is inexpensive software available for free, or available for a trial before you purchase it. Here are three places to start looking for freeware and shareware on the Web.

  • Association of Shareware Professionals
  • SharewareStockpile.com
  • FreewareWeb.com

An introduction to copyright issues may be found at

Making links to things that you find on the Web usually is permitted without concern about copyright issues. However, if you download and save things that you find on the Web - particularly if you incorporate those things into your own material - you need to be concerned about issues of ownership and copyright.
