Time for some Serious Searching

LLRX is a free web journal "...dedicated to providing legal, library, IT/IS, marketing and administrative professionals with the most up-to-date information on a wide range of Internet research and technology-related issues, applications, resources and tools..." Even though it tends to focus on the legal community, many of its articles are useful beyond the narrow scope of the law.

The Gumshoe Librarian: "Where In The World Is..." is an article in a recent issue. It has a listing of databases and search tools for the academic scholar, the political activist, and maybe even a couple of lawyers might find some of these databases interesting.  The categories are: Foreign/Comparative Law, Search Engines, Global News Portals, Business and Financial Data, Finding People, Businesses, Places and Specialized Services, Who Runs What, Public Records, Government Data, Country & Corporate Information, Websites for International Research, Translating Documents, Expert Witness Databases, Campaign Finance Info, Professional Licenses, and Journalist Resources.

Be sure to visit the LLRX table of contents regularly for other articles of interest. I like a column written by the Grammar Goddess myself.
