Several Compilations Updated over the Summer

[Gary Price <gprice@GWIS2.CIRC.GWU.EDU>]

Hello from Washington D.C.

I want to alert LM_NET  participants about a few web compilations that
might be of some value to you as both meta-sites and acquisition tools.
Please feel free to have  a look around. ALL of these sites have undergone
major additions over the summer.
--------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------

Direct Search
http://gwis2.circ.gwu.edu/~gprice/direct.htm
Thousands of organized links to specialty interactive/search tools.
Remember, that while tools like Yahoo and Alta Vista are crucial they can
not and DO not make a great deal of information easily accessible.

NOTE: A new collection of U.S. State and City resources at:
http://gwis2.circ.gwu.edu/~gprice/state.htm

and searchable bibliographies at :
http://gwis2.circ.gwu.edu/~gprice/bibs.htm


List of Lists
http://gwis2.circ.gwu.edu/~gprice/listof.htm
Business rankings and the like. Many "historical" lists added this summer.

Speech/Transcript Center
http://gwis2.circ.gwu.edu/~gprice/speech.htm
Speeches from world government and business leaders.

Audio as A Current Awareness Tool
http://gwis2.circ.gwu.edu/~gprice/audio.htm
Listen to breaking news from around the world. Many archived programs
and conference keynotes are also coming online.

NewsCenter
http://gwis2.circ.gwu.edu/~gprice/newscenter.htm
One-click access to many hard to locate news resources

Congressional Research Service WWW Accessible Reports
http://gwis2.circ.gwu.edu/~gprice/crs.htm

Cheers,
gary

p.s. Those of you in Canada and Australia please note the many "new
additions" with materials from your 2 countries.
