My initial reaction it is a valuable resource for educators to use. I am involved in patient education and hopefully if I get a paper accepted at a upcoming conference related to consumer informatics I would use this site as an another example for patient educators to recommend to patients.

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.
