Online Universities.com Picks

100 Time-Saving Search Engines for Serious Scholars, Online Universities (Mar 3)

This collection of 100 includes:

+ General academic - the new RefSeek.com is here and deservedly so. Oddly, so is iSeek.com, a metasearch engine that presents results in faceted groups - it's good to use but I wouldn't have called it academic.

+ Metasearch engines - Clusty.com is the only acceptable one on an otherwise terrible list.

+ Databases and archives
+ Books and journals - Highbeam Research is for fee - they should say that.
+ Science
+ Math and Technology - interesting - didn't include Wolfram Alpha
+ Social science
+ History
+ Business and Economics
+ Other - health (should have been own grouping) and education
+ Reference
