GUIDE TO EUROPEAN WEB SITES

A search for information on the Internet these days can mean culling through hundreds of search engine listings, many of which have little to do with the topic at heand. Those interested in Europe - be it for current events or an upconing trip - might try some of the sites detailed below before diving into Magellan or Infoseek searches.

AUSTRIA.

GREECE. The Greek embassy (www.greekembassy.org/) has current events in both Greek and English, cultural, and tourist information, history, and many links to Greek ministries and US-Greek organizations. But the Hellenic Resources Network tops that with a personalized newspaper on its site (www.hri.org/). Registered users can pick topics of interest and have the information on the site packaged to center on those topics. The links to other Greek-related sites - on business, science, religion, sports, and several other areas - are impressive.

UNITED KINGDOM.

ODDS AND ENDS. For some Europewide sites try the European Union (at either www.eurunion.org or www.europa.int/en/index.html) for political, economic, and general information on the European Union itself and its 15 member states. If searching for data on Europe's big cities, two sites can be useful: Citynet and TimeOut. Citynet (www.city.net/) offers some European cities, while TimeOut (www.timeout.co.uk) focuses on what is happening in 11 European cities during a two-week time period.
