Online Library Catalogs and Databases
Digitized Online Resources
As a general rule, I retain
a healthy skepticism of research conducted on the web, especially
because anyone can post anything they want. However,
there are exceptions. I find reputable sites that post digitized
images of primary resources very useful. Here
are a few to consider.
Non-Digitized Online
Resources
While I am even more skeptical
of sites that post non-digitized primary resources, there are
some sites that you may find useful. Click
here for details.
Digital Books Online
There are a number of
efforts underway to bring the full content of copyrighted and
out-of-copyright books to the web. Here
are several notable efforts worth looking at.
Useful History Links
Includes links to regional
archives, research tools and military history links. Click
here for details.
Buying Books Online
If you buy books online,
it is really worth checking out http://www.pricescan.com/home_books.asp.
It lets you compare the total cost of a book [price + postage]
at all online book retailers by entering author, title or ISBN.
