The Using the Internet for Research FAQ for this month is now out in the following newsgroups: misc.writing, alt.movies.independent, alt.union.natl-writers, misc.writing.screenplays, alt.answers, misc.answers and news.answers It can also be found on the web at: http://www.purefiction.com/pages/res1.htm New information this month: 1. A new site well worth checking out for help in research is Windweaver Web Resources <http://www.windweaver.com/> with over 100 pages of useful Internet search guides and links. Created by an Internet trainer who specialises in research resources, it offers useful comparisons of the strengths and weaknesses of the different search engines, etc, along with guides, help pages, and many, many links. Highly recommended. Among other things, Windweaver has a list of search resources for finding mailing lists <http://www.windweaver.com/searchpage2.htm#Discussion> which I have also added to the Mailing List section of the FAQ. 2. If you want to lobby on a world-wide scale, here's Politicians of the World, a complete address directory for the state/provincial governors and Presidents/Prime Ministers of every country <http://www.trytel.com/~aberdeen/>. Phone, fax, and e-mail addresses are also provided where available. Even has the Web pages of the Pope and the British Royal Family. 3. Quotation Center. Just what you needed, another quotation search site! But this one comes highly recommended and has a large database: <http://www.cyber-nation.com/victory/quotations/> 4. Finally, currently under test but worth looking at is Ask Jeeves for Kids <www.ajkids.com> a protected version of the rather good grown-up Ask Jeeves site at <www.askjeeves.com>. Try it out. ---- To sign off SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems? Contact [log in to unmask]
