Using
a Selective Directory
Below is an example of
a search using the Librarians’ Internet Index (LII)
selective directory for a general subject related to the research
question “How will
increased use of genetically engineered crops affect food
safety?”
Below is the beginning
of the results page for this search.
Notice that “Viewing 1 to 20 of
23“
indicates that 23 sites were
found.
Below is one of the sites found from the LII search on genetic engineering. Notice that there is a site-specific search engine at the top right of the page. By doing a search within the site for “food safety”, you might find pages with more specific information on “How will increased use of genetically engineered crops affect food safety?”
Below is another of the sites found from the LII search on genetic engineering. Although this site does not have a site-specific search engine, notice the link at the left of the page to “Risks & Benefits”. This would be a possible link to a page with more specific information on “How will increased use of genetically engineered crops affect food safety?”
