Web Sites in Science & Technology
Presentation by Karen Andrews for Internet Librarian ’98

My presentation covered the subject areas of physics, astronomy, chemistry and engineering. I focused on metasites (web pages which have links covering every aspect of a subject) and examples of specific sites with numeric data. The metasites have a star next to the title. The sample sites were selected to illustrate the variety of data that is on the web, and are not meant to be comprehensive lists for each discipline. I also included some sites with search engines that I found helpful (EEVL, Google, Infomine). Happy searching!!

Please contact me if you have questions or comments.
