Something new to me

Scrolling through GALILEO's Databases A-Z, I ran across a database that was new to me-
Social Science Information Gateway (SOSIG) "A searchable online catalog of thousands of Internet resources evaluated and selected by librarians." The service aims to provide a trusted source of selected, high quality Internet information for researchers and practitioners in the social sciences, business and law. It is part of the UK Resource Discovery Network.

It may have a more European slant but at least a person has looked at the site to evaluate it.

You know that the wild web is wild for a reason, no one is in charge- using SOSIG or SKS WebSelect gives you a fighting chance at weeding out the junk web sites.

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to all citizens of Georgia from their librarian. Some resources noted on this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.
