My friend Stretch sent this as a response to my research post- Some additional search resources you can use to find things!
www.refseek.com – Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org – a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com – access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org – volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free.
And if you’re REALLY bored, you can go to this link and hear Lawdog and I get interviewed on BizTV about short stories and anthologies!
Thanks for this!
Great links, thanks!
Although I wonder how wokism affects searches on some of these sites – worldcat.com has a link on its home page “LGBTQ Reading Recommendations”
yes I was going to send all these apparently terrific links to my friends, and decided to click on a few before I put my reputation out there associated with them.
Well, I figured “science dot go” would be awful (it brings you to facebook log on, I did not go further) and yah, worldcat I saw the LGBTQXYA nonsense but tried to find Divine Comedy, the first hit was some gay novel but the second was the classic by Dante Alighieri.
So let’s be careful out there, people. (you get bonus points if you recognize the TV show this line was in every episode)
Got to let them know where the kiddie porn is.
Watched the Fred Hughes interview you linked. No real surprises in the content, but I’ve been watching the Blanket Fort for a while.
I did like the question and answer regarding how Raconteur Press gets so many authors interested so quickly, and how that boils down to being open with the authors and treating them right on money and rights, and being open and clear with the information.
Ian made a great point about how in this day and age, an author shouldn’t have any difficulty getting the question “How many books did I sell?” answered by a publisher. If Raconteur Press can do that, so can the others.
All- Thanks, and yes Tom, knowing what the ‘opposition’ is doing is good too! Thanks Ag!
