Finding valuable information on the Web can be a time consuming and frustrating process. To help ease your researching woes, we have collected the best search tools currently available. We have general resources for everyone and specific resources for each of our business disciplines. Select any category of information by clicking on the label to the right. If we have missed something or you don't see what you need, drop our researchers a line and we'll see if we can help.

Compendium sites (sometimes called "comprehensive sites" or "directories") are compiled by librarians or other professionals in order to provide their users with links to web based information on a topic. Links are arranged in a logical manner, usually a hierarchy or outline arrangement, and connect to sites that are regularly evaluated for their reliability and currency. They can provide comprehensive access to web sources. Compendium sites are not search engines, although some are searchable or provide access to search engines. Try a few of those listed below and bookmark those that are most useful to you. More about compendium sites...
