Specialty Search Roundup #5

Another week has passed which means it's time for a look at a few new or updated specialty search tools that they have posted about on ResourceShelf. Btw, ResourceShelf has a new RSS feed URL. They are now at: http://www.resourceshelf.com/feed

• In a post about Vivisimo clustering technology now being made available for mobile searchers in Japan, we include links to a few other tools (all free) powered by Vivisimo including: + BiometaCluster (Life Sciences Meta Search and Clustering) + ClusterMed (Dynamic Clustering of PubMed) and a few others.

• Although these presentations and materials are aimed at librarians, these presentations about metadata might be of interest to some of you. We also include a link to the book (full text) Introduction to Metadata: Pathways to Digital Information (Version 2.1) from Getty.

• The business researcher will want to review this extensive compilation of the many databases (almost all free) made available by the International Labor Organization

• It's not a database (in the searching sense) but Gliffy is a new 2.0 app that offers web-based diagram building. Neat.

• A new exhibit looking at the last 100 years of UK newspapers is now open at the British Library in London. The web version of the exhibit includes access to a database with a complete digitised archive of the Penny Illustrated Paper from 1861 to 1913.

• We posted earlier this week that Scirus has partnered with the The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

• The Zoom List (Beta): An Autonomously Built Directory of Companies, Products and Services from ZoomInfo
