Academic Subject Directories: Education     Definition

Definition:      Subject directories are human centered services. The people who maintain the directories decide which sites will be linked from each service. In contrast, search engines are machine centered services. Spiders grab Web pages, computer programs index the content, and a search mechanism queries the index and ranks the results. To use a familiar term, academic subject directories are refereed.
