In Case You Missed It - Net Links
Martha Keister

Here are a few Internet sites which might have escaped your notice. They are not necessarily new nor are they comoetely 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. Scout Report update http://www.signpost.org

I hope everyone knows about the Scout Report now, and the related reports in the Social Sciences and the Sciences. Here is a topical index to their useful web-site descriptions. Many of their sites are organized by LC subject headings!

 2. Document Delivery Finder           http://www.docdel.com

A directory of over 200 document delivery providers, suppliers, and resources. Their main database indexesover 100 services by subject and country.

 3. Service of Process abroad           http://216.200.80.33/judicial assistance.html

This is a direct link to the U.~. State Department's database "Jujdicial Assistance". While certainly notcomprehensive, it's the place to start because many of our most prominent trade partners are located here. Wecan hope the list will grow. The text of the Hague Conventions on Legalization of Documents, Taking of Evidence Abroad, Service Abroad, etc. are here too.

 4. The Ultimate Collection of News Links http://pppp.net/links/news/report.html

A comprehensive resource of 10,000! newspapers and magazines, organized by country, state or province. Many languages represented. Choose a continent and a country and go on from there.

 Use http://www.IstHeadlines.com to look for emerging and breaking headline news. It is divided by topics: Death, General (Environment, Legal Items, Olympics among others), U. S., U. S. Politics, International. You can also search headlines. I was not able to find a help screen which would give the time period covered, but it looks like today's news, maybe some older.

 5. deja.com           http://www.deja.com

Remember that email you sent 3 years ago to a listserv? Well, it's probably here! It archives tens of millions of postings to lists and discussion groups across the Internet. The page looks extremely cluttered but you can find the "Quick Search " spot (currently upper left) to search by words, or go to a 'Tower Search" which will allow you to put limits on a search.

 6. GovSpot           http://www.govspot.com

Government information is organized into "intuitive" categories so you can find what you need to use easily. Categories include social services, justice & military, matters of money, science & travel, world affairs, the press, etc. By-the-way, other "spots" include BookSpot, EmploymentSpot, GourmetSpot, ShoppingSpot, TripSpot and LibrarySpot (below). It's a company from Evanston, Illinois which is trying to create a "family of high-utility information sweetspots".

7. LibrarySpot http://www.libraryspot.com

Similar to GovSpot above, a virtual library resource center organizing web resources. Organization includes Libraries, Reference Desk, Reading Room, Must-See Sites and so on.
