I recently subscribed to a free newsletter and found that it is helpful in ways that I did not anticipate. ResourceShelf is available as a WordPress.com site and is updated daily. I didn’t pay too much attention to it at first, but the more I have used it, the more functionality I see. The editorial team of Gary Price and Sherl Kennedy scan the web for information that may be useful “information professionals, educators, and journalists.”
While I knew that Resource Shelf provided current information, I was not prepared for the depth included. My big surprise came when I searched their site for “metadata.” Wow! I found presentation papers, tables of contents, preprints, news briefs, and a lot more. All of their resources had links to websites for further study.
They also publish a companion site Docuticker. This is “another daily update with direct links to a variety of new reports from government agencies, think tanks, ngo’s, universities, and other groups.” It is a great way to stay current.
I hope you find it as helpful as I have.
