WWW subject gateways

Subject gateways are tree-like information retrieval systems. There is usually a list of a few main topics on the subject gateway home page. When you click one of the main topics, a new page with more specific topics appears. Browse  the pages this way until you find the desired information. Most subject gateways can also be searched with keywords.

The information in subject gateways is selected by subject experts using specific selection criteria, so the quality of the  information in gateways is higher than in seach engines which are maintained automatically. Use subject gateways when your topic is extensive and not well defined, or if you need an overview of the information available on the Internet.
