Conducting research in 2011

Many of us depend on Google or Bing (or a combination of the two which can be done using bingle.nu), yet there are literally millions of invisible ways of searching the web. Here's a list of a few academic sites to check out and try in the new year:

http://www.libraryspot.com/ - like having a community library on your computer.

http://www.uiweb.uidaho.edu/special-collections/iil.htm - a nice listing of electronic sources available from around the world

http://www.doaj.org/ - one of my personal favorites, a list of all kinds of academic journals that available for free online!

http://www2.guidestar.org/ - Database of nonprofits - great when determining credibility of sources

http://highwire.stanford.edu/lists/allsites.dtl - not all are free, but there are some great links here to a variety of journals.
