Resource Discovery Network "the UK's free national gateway to Internet resources for the learning, teaching and research community". Portal to a veritable shed-load of stuff.

  • Thanks, this is useful. I consult Humbul and Artifact from time to time already, but the rest of the resources here are new to me.
  • Yes, this is very interesting. The closest thing we have to this in the US is the National Science Digital Library, but that is primarily science, tech, engineering and math materials. There was the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse which was axed recently by the Bush administration Department of Education. You can still get to the tax payer funded collection, but now you have to pay for it. For me the most interesting library is the EEVL library. I'm sure whoever came up with that name is still laughing. Be sure to check out the Working with EEVL page so you can link to EEVL or get an EEVL RSS feed.
  • Wow, a shed-load indeed! The Resource Finder search tool is especially useful and can be added to any web page as described here. Thanks, Abiezer.
  • I use the National Science Digital Library for work; cool stuff. Hey, if we have the shedload from NSDL, plus the shedload from the RDN, can we call ourselves "Two Sheds?"
  • Egad -- a link that really is the best o' the web! Well, I know it must be, becoz it says so! ))), Abiezer_Coppe!!!
  • Thanks, Abs, this looks useful.
