The major drawback to making use of the the huge volume of information freely available on the Internet is that it can be difficult to track down the truly useful sites. Using a powerful search engine will produce long lists of suggested sites on almost any subject, but many will be lacking in useful content, and many hours can be wasted following trails of links in search of a site that actually tells you what you need to know.
The Hutchinson Internet Directory takes the hard work out of the Web by listing over 5,800 recommended Web sites, each hand-picked for its useful and informative content. A concise summary is provided for each site, so that you know what is available there before dialling up and accessing it. Sites are selected on the basis of providing useful educational information - be it articles, images, sound clips, virtual tours, or complete texts of classic books.
