Resource of the Week SEC Info Continues to Impress
SEC Info has been around for a couple of years and has been mentioned many times on ResourceShelf but has never been included as a Resource of the Week. This searchable and browsable database of SEC EDGAR documents as well as Canadian SEDAR documents is more than deserving of a place on the ROW list. Here are a few of many reasons SEC Info.Com is a fave.
1) It's available at no charge!
2) SEC Info's Alert Service is Also FREE! Select the companies you want to monitor and as new docs are filed, an email with a direct link to the filing is sent to you. Yesterday, I got an email alerting me to a new Yahoo filing within 6 minutes of the time it hit the database.
3) The database is updated in real-time with both EDGAR and SEDAR filings
4) You can search material by Search by Name, Industry, Business, SIC Code, Area Code, Topic, CIK, Accession Number, File Number, Date, ZIP, and more.
5) The SEC Info homepage provides you access to numerous links that make browsing easy. You'll find links to browse all of today's filings, recent institutional filings, proxy statements and more.
6) Documents accessed via SEC Info contain internal links that allow you to move around the document quickly and efficiently. For example, note the links embedded in the recently filed Yahoo annual report (10-K).
7) Browse companies by SIC Code
8) If you register for a free account, the "My Interest" section allows you to see a list of your most recently accessed documents.
9) A brief FAQ is available
-- Caveat:
Like most free EDGAR tools, SEC Info does not allow you to keyword search the "full-text" of filings. If you're looking for a free service that offers full-text searching, take a look at EDGARIQ.

A new feature on ResourceShelf that I plan on including links to multimedia collections, image archives, digital archive projects, and other content that you might have overlooked. Let's begin with two collections of streaming media content.
Many universities and organizations are offering the chance to watch or listen to lectures and other special events. Here are two favorites.
1) MIT World
An archive of special presentations and lectures available for you to watch from a broad range of speakers. Here are just a few examples:
* Jeff Bezos, "Earth's Most Customer Centric Company: Differentiating with Technology"
* Maurice Sendak, "Descent into Limbo"
* Sloan 50th Anniversary: Phil Condit
Make sure to visit the complete list of archived presentations.
