Web Sites
Google
This is an interesting site that allows you to enter
text strings in a number of categories, then returns results that are from
what they consider to be award winning sites. So, presumably, you will
not get a pile of junk with every request. Nice site.

since what seems like the beginning of it all. There's an editorial filter
at work here - not every college student's home page makes it into the

cross-discipline resource base.
