Lab 9: WWW Links

The purpose of this lab is to guide you in collecting references to web sites that you will use in an upcoming lab. In the process, you will paractice some of the web research/searching techniques that we discussed in class.

You are to prepare a written report containing ten (10) URLs. Five of the URLS should be links to sites that are related to you personally. For example, you might find a web site for your hometown or a parent's business (or your own employer, for that matter). Your report will list these links and give a brief note explaining how that link relates to you personally.

For the second five links, you are to choose a topic of interest to you. You should then search the web for five 'quality' sources of information on that topic. In your report, you will list your topic, the five URLs you chose, and include with each one a brief description of what can be found at that particular site.
