Publisher's Synopsis

A guide to the top search engines, subject directories, and portals especially designed for kids. It explains children's searching behaviours and describes the kinds of logical thinking, critical evaluation, and search strategies they need to use when doing research on the Web. Beginning with definitions of search engines, subject directories, and portals, the guide explores the elements of a search tool, discusses ownership and documentation, examines the selection and content coverage, and looks at display and navigation tools, search features, results and rankings. The top 20 recommended search engines and subject directories for kids (including Ask Jeeves for Kids, Cyber Sleuth - Kids, Homework Planet, KidsClick!, Lycos Zone, Searchopolis, and Yahooligans) are covered in detail. The strengths and weaknesses of each is broken down and rated.
