Tuesday's Tool: Librarians' Internet Index

Tuesday's Tool is very late this week. Does it count that it really was started on Tuesday?? :-(

In keeping with the 9/11 theme from earlier in the week, the intent was to see what compilations were still out there collecting and keeping up with subsequent activities. That led to one of the great starting points for any research question, Librarians' Internet Index (formerly Librarians' Index to the Internet). The site underwent a name change and facelift in July of 2005, but the content is still the same great carefully selected, annotated, and organized Web information.

With a tagline of "Websites You Can Trust", this site is publicly funded and compiled predominantly by librarians in California, and fueled by the weekly newsletter, New This Week, available as an e-mail subscription or as an RSS feed.

This is an extremely useful, human-compiled project and their September 11 and Beyond collection is still one of the best out there on the subject.

As an aside and finishing the theme, a couple of other excellent pages that lead to 9/11 content include 9/11 Events and Aftermath from ResearchBuzz and Society > Issues > Terrorism > Incidents > September 11, 2001 from Google Directory.
