Wow, I just rediscovered some .gov sites via the Library of Congress. From there you click on Librarians and then Digital Reference and then Virtual Reference Desk. Talk about a wow list, link farm fun; especially scroll all the way to the bottom to:
“Other Reference Sites
Librarians’ Internet Index (Very Comprehensive) “
That is where the real fun begins…the complete list looks like this:
Librarians’ Internet Index (Very Comprehensive)
* Alcove 9: An Annotated List of Reference Websites (Library of Congress, Main Reading Room)
* Homework Center by Info Please
* Internet Public Library Reference Center
* Internet Resources From the Learning Page (Library of Congress-Great for Educators)
* LibrarySpot
* Refdesk
* Research Tools
* Today in History (Library of Congress)
* WWW Virtual Library
* Xrefer (that is really called “Credo” now)
Take a minute to click on each link; it is quite a list.
I always knew it lay out there something this beautiful, ah. What are librarian’s favorite spots to sun themselves…don’t forget to click on the heading of the list too “Librarians’ Internet Index” that is a link too! YIKS and a big thanks to librarians.
After reading http://myfreedomofinformationblog.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/virtual-reference-desk/, I thought this might be a useful resource for your site:
http://www.biomedsearch.com
The site is free, and perhaps the most comprehensive biomedical site on the web. It has all PubMed and MedLine documents, plus mililons more including full-text journal articles and a large database of theses and dissertations.
And, you don’t have to register but if you do you can use portfolios to save documents, share documents (and comment on them) between users, and set up automatic alerts.
