Subject Guides
When we want to search for information about a specific subject, we can
use these so-called subject guides (lists of links). These guides
have a limited number of selected links to different WWW-pages,
often more or less clearly separated into categories.
Subject guides are easy to use and more often than not the pages that
can be found through these are of a high standard. Their weak points
include lax standardisation of the categories and rather limited content.

Yahoo!
-
Perhaps the most popular and largest subject guide on the Internet.
It contains links from around the world, but mostly from the United States
of America. Yahoo! also has a easy to use search,
with which you can search by keywords from Yahoo!'s own database.

The
WWW Virtual Library

Similar to the above. This used to be the de-facto way to find information
from the Internet at some point in history.
