There are no distinctions between different types of universities in Britain. But still there are some categories of them. First of all, Oxbridge, Oxford and Cambridge were founded in the medieval period. These universities consist of semi-independent colleges, each of them having its own staff (“Fellows”). The “Fellows” teach the college students either one-to-one or in very small group.

All English universities except Oxford and Cambridge are fairly new. The University of Oxford was the first university in Britain. It was organised in the 12th century as a federation of colleges. They are governed by their own teaching staff known as “Fellows”. The oldest college, University College, was founded in 1249. Other famous colleges are: All Souls (founded in 1438), Christ Church (founded in 1546) and the first women’s college Lady Margaret Hall (founded in 1878). Today, Oxford University consists of 35 separate colleges, of which two are for women students only.

Directories use an indexing strategy that makes them distinct from other search tools. They use real live people to search the Web, and to review and categorise the sites by topic. This reduces some of the aggravations that frequently plague the researcher, such as duplication of listings, broken links and out-of-date information. A perfect choice when you have very little idea what is out there, directories are set up to satisfy expert and inexperienced users alike. This is why Yahoo!, one of the pioneer directory sites, is consistently ranked number one in Internet polls.

Most countries have a wide range of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) on offer, so it is best to shop around before you choose one. You should look for an ISP with a local telephone number or you will be paying long-distance telephone call rates. In addition, you will need a supportive company to start with, one that gives you all the software, help setting it up, at least one e-mail account and perhaps even free space to have your own site on the World Wide Web. And that's really all you need to become a part of the online community.

As a form of international communication, the Internet has been in constant expansion since 1973, when the ARPAnet was first connected to the United Kingdom and Norway. Much of northern Europe was connected to the Net in the early 1980s. Japan and Canada soon followed suit. A special link was established between Germany and China at about the same time. And then in the late 1980s the real growth began as Australia, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand and Puerto Rico joined the Net.
