Debut: ResourceShelf's Weekend Best (RWB) & RWB #1: DiplomacyMonitor.Com

Its been very exciting for the ResourceShelf team to hear from so many of you about the focused collections we're building. Links to them are listed below.

During the 6.5 years we've been publishing ResourceShelf, links to hundreds of databases, lists, and other items that are hopefully of value/use/interest to you. This is in addition to the news and other info web post on ResouceShelf.

We post direct links to primary documents often within hours of publication on DocuTicker.

Now, it's time for something new.

We're going to call it ResourceShelf's "Weekend Best" (RWB). This collection will be where the RS team and friends will link to items (databases, lists, and other reference tools) that we've posted to in the past. In the past two years (our of the six we've been online), we're happy, honored, and thrilled to say we've grown adding thousands of new users. So, many of the databases, sites, and tools will likely to be new to many of you. Those of you who watch tv in the United States might remember the NBC slogan from a few year's ago on nights when they would run reruns, "if you haven't seen, it's new to you. Same thing with ResourceShelf.

Btw, depending on what we've selected for a given week, we might also toss in a new resource or two into that week's "Weekend Best."

So, let's get to it. We have five items to share this week that you can find on the site or via the RSB RSS feed.

ResourceShelf Sunday Best #1: DiplomacyMonitor.Com
A non-stop ticker of primary documents from governments around the world. All documents are cached locally. You can browse by topic, country, etc. as well as search. Links to mechanical translation tools (caveat emptor) are provided. An RSS feed is also available.
