That is why I selected more from their lists than from Kathy Schrock’s Web site.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 19px;">Evaluation of Selection Tools **

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">I struggled to find any information related to my subject on Kathy Shrock’s site. I felt like the only way to narrow searches on her Web site is to use the search bar at the bottom of the page. When I actually found something I thought would be worth including the link took me to a page which was no longer active. I went back repeatedly with new search terms and still I could not find anything else to add to the pathfinder.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">I can honestly say that I LOVE netTrekked! It is no surprise what the subscription fee is paying for. It didn’t matter what search term I used, it provided me with a good amount of usable Web sites.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">The ipl2 Web site was definitely not the easiest to find materials, but those suggested were really good. I had to be a bit more careful with the search terms; I got several hits that really had nothing to do with what I was looking for. I mean who would have thought that the F if F. Scott Fitzgerald would have scored me over 200 unrelated sites.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Now, eThemes was a nice Web site. I would even say it was second to netTrekked. It was easy to use and brought up great Web sites. It provided me a variety of information pertaining to a decade.
