Helpful Web Sites

The Internet is a terrific resource. It contains hundreds of web sites dedicated to thousands of topics. With so many sites, it is easy to get lost. Knowing the types of search tools available and mastering some general search tips can make your search more profitable. Use caution when searching the web, though, as anyone with access to the Internet can post web sites about topics that interest them. These sites are not always accurate. Therefore, we have put together a list of our favorite web sites that we hope you will find helpful.
