Navigating the Internet

Abstract

Navigating any complex site of information resources requires tools for both browsing and searching. A number of tools are available today for using Internet resources, and more are being developed. This article reviews existing navigational tools, including 2 developed at the Yale University School of Medicine, and points out their strenghts and weakness. A major shortcoming of the present Internet navigation methods is the lack of controlled descriptions of the available resources. As a result, navigating the Internet is very difficult
