Name for Subject Sites

[Bennett, Roy - Library]

My overall question is HOW to organize an "Internet Search" page 
that will divide up various search tools into groups that would help 
students wisely decide on a particular tool and WHAT to call those 
groupings.  

Here are some of the categories I'm thinking about:

   Search Engines     (like Alta Vista)
   Meta Search Sites  (those that search mulitiple engines)
*  Subject Trees      (like Yahoo, Angus)
   Email              (selected sites that search for addresses)
   Listservs          (sites that identify listservs) 

* In particular, I am looking for a word or short phrase to describe 
sites like Yahoo.  Currently, we call this kind of site a "Subject 
Tree" on our "Internet Search" page.  However, I'm looking for 
something that does not have the word "subject" in it so that our 
patrons will not be confused with the subject lists (e.g., business, 
education, etc.) that we have on a separate "Internet Resources" 
page.

Any suggestions for a replacment to "Subject Trees"?  Other 
suggestions?
