Online Library Catalogs
Conducting on-line research for your essay, term paper, or research paper? Here are links to on-line library catalogs from other parts of the world. These sites are a great source for your literature search, and many have links to other good news sources. I try to limit this list to those sites which are regularly updated, reliable, with a high percentage of "up" time.
Please contact me to report broken links, or to suggest other sources. Enjoy!
