by davidleeking on March 25, 2006

Most important - why do we need to know all this stuff Gary talked about? Well - we’re the information go-to… we know our collections. We also need to learn online resources, so when people come asking about the web, we can be ready with a good anser, resources to point them to, etc.

trafficland.com - cams of traffic in DC and NYC

in2tv from AOL - free old TV shows. This is cool…

publicradiofan.com - what’s coming up on public radio - even opens up the live stream.

search engine ordering - a firefox plugin - will it work with an opac? Hmm…

newspaperarchive - free pdf of newspapers

zohowriter - wame as writely - a web-based Word-like application

SECform4.com - free SEC alert service

exalead has proximity searching - 16 words in either direction

rollyo runs on top of the yahoo database, does customized searches

topix.net - still useful. prebuilt pages for companies and zip codes.
