These directories and search engines can help you find your way on the Internet.

DIRECTORIES

Yahoo. Since you are on the Internet, you probably already know about Yahoo, one of the oldest and most extensive directories of the world-wide web. This searchable directory is organized by topic. And if a search doesn't turn up what you want in Yahoo's directories, you can have Yahoo's software forward the search directly to one of several other Internet search sites.

N.Y. Times Navigator. Part of The New York Times' excellent web site. This page is billed as the starting point to web navigation for the Times' own journalists. It contains an extensive collection of links to government sites, journalistic resources and other web directories.

SEARCH ENGINES

Google.

InterNIC WHOIS. This is where you can find out who owns the domain names (e.g. "someone.com") of the websites you visit.

GENERAL REFERENCE

SuperPages lets you search by name for businesses listed in the Yellow Pages, which makes it a great tool for finding businesses for which you know the name, but not location. You can also search by subject, much as you would in the printed Yellow Pages.

ZIP Code Lookup. For when you are sending mail the old-fashioned way, look up ZIP+4 codes on-line.
