Trying to find what you want on the Internet can be a frustrating and somewhat overwhelming task. Of course, you can do a search on Google. You’ll get pages of websites that contain whatever key word you input. Dozens and dozens of pages of entries, probably hundreds of them will come up. Some of these pages will actually lead to a useful page. Many more will not.

2009 Internet Directory looks to simplify the process. As the name implies, it’s a directory of websites, wikis, podcasts, blogs, forums, and social networks. The entries are seay to search through by topic for instance nonprofit business resources, science news, children’s health, boating, museums, etc.

Of course, the entries listed are not complete listings of what is available online. However, this book does give you a good solid place to start looking. The majority of the websites are national or international associations and organizations. While doing my own searches, I found some really good resources with free material, newsletters, and some blogs that I bookmarked right away.

The price is terrific and this is a fairly comprehensive directory to the internet. I use it quite a bit as it is fairly comprehensive and quite user friendly. It is written for a general audience, but it is still quite handy. A short guide to the internet, if there is such a thing...
