This Website can be used by anyone looking for a wide range of information relevant to the well being of individuals and their families. Librarians from the New York Metropolitan area collaborated on this project. Subject areas range from housing and jobs to family matters to history and government. Each Website was evaluated as per interest, currency, authority, readability, ease of navigation, design, etc. All Websites are clearly and briefly annotated. firstfind also offers help screens for novice web users (developed by ESL teacher and Webpage designer, Maura Donnelly) and for assistance in navigating the site, an online dictionary, and a response form. The web address is http://www.firstfind.info or just firstfind.info I would be interested in what you think of this portal and how it might be used by adult education programs. David J. Rosen
