OTHER INTERNET RESOURCES

The following constitutes a list of world wide web resources that may prove useful to students and teachers of Urban Sociology. As with any web-related resource, its organization adheres to no known standardized structure and the validity of its content is tremendously time-dependent (Last updated September, 2000).

To the extent that these resources have been categorized, they are listed in the following loosely defined groups (the focus at time of development was sources of information, data, and so forth, rather than any how-to's, etc.):

Search Engines

AltaVista

http://www.altavista.com/

(Still the best single engine.)

Netscape NetCenter

http://www.netscape.com/

(Allows user to choose from the Lycos, Netscape, AltaVista, Excite, Go To, Hot Bot, and LookSmart engines, as well as the Ask Jeeves and Google meta-search engines).
