Browsing the WWW Virtual Library-Sports |
| |
This example takes us to the WWW Virtual Library arranged by subject.
It's a good place to keep in your bookmark file. Going from site
to site is sometimes called "Net Surfing" or "Surfing the Internet."
That means going from location to location finding interesting,
entertaining, or useful sites and resources, regardless of the type
of information you're dealing with.
While this example focuses pretty much on the topic of sports,
you will also see hyperlinks that could easily take you to different
topics if/when you choose to follow them. It's this interconnection
of sites and topics that makes the term "world wide web" appropriate.
Here are the steps we'll follow.
- Start Netscape.
- Open the location for the World Wide Web Virtual Library (WWWVL)
arranged by subject.
- Select the hyperlink to the Sport home page.
- Search the Sport section for items dealing with surfing.
- Select the hyperlink to the"La Jolla Surfing page".
- Browse the La Jolla Surfing site for pictures of La Jolla and
weather information.
- Select a hyperlink for "Virtually Hawaii" from a Web page Satellite
Oceanography Laboratory-SOEST University of Hawaii.
- Use the History list to go back to Sport home page.
- Get information about golf.
- End the session.

We've traveled through several pages and now would like to

from the keyboard.
