New Ask An Expert Locator, Streaming Media Resource

[gprice <gprice@GWU.EDU>]

Word from one of the many lists I monitor that the VRD (Virtual Reference
Desk)
project has a new and improved web site.

http://www.vrd.org


Of SPECIAL note is the AskA+ Locator Database
http://www.vrd.org/locator/index.html

From the page:

"The AskA+ Locator is a database of high-quality "AskA" services designed
to link students, teachers, parents and other K-12 community members with
experts on the Internet. Profiles of each AskA service include identification
information (e.g., publisher, e-mail address, contact person, links to
services=92
home pages), scope, target audience, and a general description of the service.
Some of the Web sites linked from AskA+ service profiles provide additional
resources such as on-line reference, archives of previously asked questions,
and links to related sites."

Also, for those of you who are interested in monitoring current events and
other events via streaming media (RealAudio, RealVideo, Microsoft Media) I
have recently expanded the compilation of material I maintain. If you haven't
taken a look and seen what is available, stop by.  It vividly illustrates a
huge amount of material that just a couple of years ago was difficult if not
impossible to access.
