Research--Global
Invisible Web New Database: ISI Launches HighlyCited.Com
Interesting material. It appears to be in the building stage. I was unable to find social science material. From the site, "This freely accessible Web site gives research professionals working in a variety of occupations an invaluable tool to identify individuals, departments and laboratories that have made fundamental contributions to the advancement of science and technology in recent decades. ISIHighlyCited.com reveals the face of research--the people behind the accomplishments in 21 broad subject categories in life sciences, medicine, physical sciences, engineering and social sciences. These individuals are the most highly cited within each category for the period 1981-1999, and comprise less than one-half of one percent of all publishing researchers--truly an extraordinary accomplishment...ISIHighlyCited.com will grow to include the top 250 preeminent individual researchers in each of 21 subject categories..."
Sci-Tech Resources--Searchable Directory New From NTIS: SciTechResources.Gov
This searchable directory is in the development stage. From the site, "...one-stop access to key U.S. Government resources. Thousands of web sites are being reviewed to select just those sites that will provide valuable links to government expertise, services, laboratories, information centers, and other important resources."
Children--United States--Database
Invisible Web The KIDS COUNT Databases
If your looking for statistics, rankings, and profiles about the status of children in the U.S., this site provides an impressive set of resources. The KIDS COUNT Data Book provides "national-level indicators of child well-being" and the KIDS COUNT Compiled State, County, City, and Congressional District Census Data, provides recently released Census data about children. The "Data Book" allows you to interact with the data to create customized tables, lists, graphs, and maps. The Census data is accessed by drilling down by pointing and clicking to access "profiles" about different locations. Other reports and older materials are also available. All of these resources are provided by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
Web Search--MSN
Source: News.Com IE Users, No More 404 or Page Not Found Error Messages?
From the article, "The Web's once common "page not found" errors are themselves going missing, stripped from recent versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer in favor of a search tool provided by--you guessed it--Microsoft. The software behemoth quietly introduced the change two weeks ago, updating Internet Explorer's autosearch function to launch whenever someone types a misspelled or nonexistent domain name into the browser's address bar. Now an MSN Search page appears by default, rather than one of several standard error pages. For example, a search for "http://www.microsoft.con" might draw a page suggesting alternate spellings or Web links for the mis-typed address, as well as direct Internet Explorer users to MSN Search." Btw, this works if you have the autosearch feature active. It can be turned on or off by going to Tools--Internet Options--Advanced, then scrolling to the search options.
Web Search--WiseNut New "Sneak-a-Peek" Option, New Logo
WiseNut now offers the opportunity to "preview" each page found in a search without having to leave the page(s) of search results. WiseNut has also updated its logo and added a company slogan, "Search. Exactly". Note: G.N. correctly points out that the "Sneak-a-Peek" feature does not work with Netscape browsers. See Also: "Wisenut, the Google Killer? Nah..."
WiseNut officially launches today. C.S. reports.
