Keeping Current on Educational Web Resources
One of the major challenges facing educators and researchers is keeping current of the many new online resources becoming available every day. With so much trash being posted on the Internet it is very useful to find several quality "What's New" mailing lists, blogs, or websites to find out what other educators or librarians have discovered to be new quality online resources. The following is a listing of a few of my favorites I consulted to keep Academic Info current.General Resources - Popular & Educational ResourcesLibrarians' Internet Index - LII New This Weekhttp://lii.org/cs/lii/print/htdocs/subsrice.htmlU.S. DocumentsDocuments in the News (University of Michigan)http://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/docnews.htmlAcademic ResourcesThe Scout Reporthttp://scout.wisc.edu/Reports/ScoutReport/Current/"Published every Friday both on the web and by email, it provides a fast, convenient way to stay informed of valuable resources on the Internet.
