2009 Calender Week 44, October 26th
This site lists the Internet resources, software, search engines etc. which the author finds the most useful. The idea is to present with a short description only the arguably very best findings in various categories. The criteria for inclusion are:
- Usability
- Free availability (only freeware, where downloads are concerned)
- Ease of handling (no IT expertise required)
The Internet will be continuously monitored for new developments, but of the hundreds of findings within a week only a few, if none at all for individual weeks may be included here.
This week's crops:| Type: Search Engine /Database | Type: Search Engine | Type: Tool (Download) | Type: Tool (Download) | Type: Simualtion Software (Download) |

NationMaster is a vast compilation of data from such sources as the CIA World Factbook, UN, and OECD." It covers practically all details of public life. | The Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research is a portal for academic full texts, to a large extent dissertations | Firefox Addon which will indicate the liveliness of links on a page in green or red. | A directory with maps to public transportation (Underground, City Trains) in 100 + cities around the world. | This is a virtual planetarium, one of the many and one of the best: easy to handle, no scientific background needed |
