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.
