Directories
A Web directory organizes Web sites by subject, and is usually maintained by humans instead of software. The searcher looks at sites organized in a series of categories and menus. These collections of links are usually much smaller than search engines' databases, since the sites are looked at by human eyes instead of by spiders. ( Wendy Boswell, About.com accessessed 1/8/13)
