Tuesday, March 16, 2010The Dark Side of the WebGoogle sees only a fraction of the content that appears on the internet. Stuart Andrews finds out what's lurking in the deep web.
The deep web isn’t half as strange or sinister as it sounds. It refers to those portions of the web that, for whatever reason, have been invisible to conventional search engines such as Google. Interesting read. Found via LISNews (Librarian And Information Science News) Original posting at Dark side of web ![]()

"The site, which can be found at www.federalreserve.gov/creditcard, summarizes the main provisions of the rules and explains how they will affect credit card users. Two interactive features will allow consumers to learn more about the terms and fees of credit card offers and about the new features of their monthly statements." ![]()

![]() ![]() Friday, January 29, 2010African-American Religion: A Documentary History Project"Headquartered at Amherst College, the African-American Religion: A Documentary History Project (AARDOC) was founded in 1987. The goal of the project is "to produce a comprehensive history of African-American religion." The history is scheduled to be published in a print edition by the University of Chicago Press later in 2010, and the authors of the project have created this site to bring a selection of these materials to the attention of educators and students. The "Advice for Beginners" section contains a brief description of external reference works of note, and then visitors can make their way through brief outlines of different phases in African-American religious history in areas like "Atlantic World" and "Global Phase". The "Sample Documents" area is a real treat, as it features primary documents that tell the story of Billy Sunday's interactions with African-Americans and the 1822-1823 journal of Betsey Stockton, who joined a company of missionaries as they set sail for the Sandwich (Hawaii) Islands.
The site is rounded out by a selection of teaching resources, including syllabi for undergraduate and graduate courses." ![]()

![]() ![]() Wednesday, January 27, 2010Quick, Free Calendar PrintoutsCalendar Labs, at http://www.calendarlabs.com/, contains a wide variety of free, useful calendars in several formats. You can custom make your own calendar with an online generator. There are several paper templates for calendars in weekly, monthly, and yearly formats. There are lists of holidays for several countries and calendars for religious holidays--even for movie releases (updated to January at this writing) and general horoscope information.
If you want to put a calendar on your site, the site also offers a customizable calendar widget that inserts a calendar into your Web site via an iframe. The site does note that if you want to have a calendar where you can list and keep events, you’d be better off using another resource like Google Calendar. from ResearchBuzz Go to Calendar Labs ![]()
