REFERENCE TOOLSSurfers searching for material on the World Wide Web may want to check out two new search services: Alta Vista from Digital Equipment Corp. (http://altavista.digital.com) and Excite (http://www. excite.com) from Architext Software. Alta Vista is your ticket if you want to find every reference to your search topic, no matter how obscure. Excite is much more selective. For example, a search for information on the tiny South Pacific nation of Tuvalu found eight citations, most pointing to general information about the islands. Alta Vista returned nearly 1,000 addresses, many of them with the barest connection to the island nation. By Stephen H. Wildstrom
