Recommended Web Search Tools:

Go to Brigidine’s Recommended Web Search Tools page and use a Search Engine like Google, but preferably try the Subject Directories like Yahoo, Lycos and others. Subject Directories are written by experts, not picked up by computers using certain keywords, so the information there is more likely to be reputable and authoritative.
