Here are a few Internet sites which might have escaped your notice. They are not necessarily new nor are they completely in the legal field. Some of them have been updated and their search methods improved. If you have suggestions for new and/or interesting sites, please send me a quick email or phone with your suggestion(s).

1. Frequently Used Sites:  http://www.library.vanderbilt.edu/central/staff/fdtf.html

This may well be the most comprehensive of the sites collecting U.S. federal government information. It is organized by the Federal Documents Task Force of the Government Documents Round Table (ALA). Subject categories range from Business and Economics to Laws and Regulations as well as Scientific and Technical Sites. It would be nice to search by word: that will no doubt come as it is coming to GPO ACCESS http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/

2. FedStats: http://www.fedstats.gov

70 agencies produce statistics which are of public interest and they can be searched from this site. Agency statistics are included along with some state county and local level data. This site is linked through Frequently Used Sites above.

3. Federal Administrative Decisions & other Actions:   http://www.law.virginia.edu/Library/govadm.htm

This page links administrative actions which are outside the scope of the CFR or FR. For example, some of the materials included are directives, memoranda, manuals, opinions, reports, documents, letters: it varies from agency to agency. Of course, the individual agencies are responsible for the currency and content of the site.

4. Internet Legal Resource Guide: International http://www.ilrg.com/nations

They say there are 280 nations (territories and islands) in the world and the links to their web sites are here! Can you get the laws of nations in English? Yes, some of them, and some laws. The attached links to individual countries are to sites physically located in that country. It’s worth checking.

5. ResPool:  http://members.tripod.com/~rtiess/respool.htm

This is an internet site made for researchers which pools "new and known reference resources on the Internet". It is a "free reference and research electronic mailing list established for researchers, information specialists" and is restricted to reference type sites only. You do need to subscribe and some days you may receive too many references as people ask questions too. The depth of information is huge.

6. ALiNUS: Academic Library Newsletters in the United States http://libaxp.hartford.edu/llr/alinusin.htm

400 academic library newsletters are included here. The site was "created to encourage communication among library professionals."
