Academic Search Engines Additional Resources Information and Tips A note on Authoritative Regardless of where you find information, it is important to evaluate the source of it, especially if you are using it for decision-making or in an educational setting. Search Engines and Directories The first three tools listed in this category are directories compiled by consortiums of universities. ipl2 was formed from the merger of two prior academic directories, the Internet Public Library and LII, Librarians’ Index to the Internet. iSEEK and Virtual LRC are more like traditional search engines, but similarly limited to preselected academic sources. Scholarly Papers These search engines include papers and other academic documents, largely from academic journals. Online Courses and Video The first two sources here are for finding online courses.

11. Software Repositories - Adding and Managing Package Repositories 11. Software Repositories As mentioned in the previous chapter, the package manager installs software by fetching packages from software repositories, therefore the software available for easy installation via the package manager depends on the configured repositories. A software repository is a collection of RPM packages (the openSUSE packaging format) and metadata for the available packages. Usually repositories are on online servers, but it can also be on a CD/DVD or on other media. 11.1 Managing Repositories Respositories can be added, removed and configured via YaST, in the module called Software Repositories. 11.1.1 Adding Repositories The official repositories are pre-configured, but many unofficial repositories exist and can be added too. The easiest and safest way to add repositories is using the list of online community repositories in YaST. YaST => Software => Software Repositories => Click on "Add" => Select "Community Repositories" and click "Next" 11.1.2 Recommended Repositories

Related Top Thesis & Dissertation References on the Web: OnlinePhDprogram.org A Master’s Thesis or Doctoral Dissertation is the capstone of many graduate programs. It requires a monumental amount of effort to put together the original research, citations, and sheer writing time to finish. Many students cruise through their master’s and PhD coursework without breaking a sweat, only to be stonewalled when it comes time to write a long, in-depth dissertation that contributes original material to the student’s chosen field. Bluntly, finishing a thesis or dissertation is hard, and nobody can do it alone. It is impossible to do original research in any field without reading the work that has come before. Writing and research styles can be completely different from one discipline to the next.

Where to Find Open Data on the Web Today, a story on Techmeme caught our eye. It was entitled "We Need a Wikipedia for data," and the article, written by X-Googler Bret Taylor, discussed the difficulty of finding open data sets on the internet, something which could spur innovation, allowing programmers to build new applications the likes of which have never been seen before. What was interesting about this story, in addition to, obviously, the concept of a Data Wiki itself, was the amazing and insightful commentary around this concept, not just on the blog, but all over the net, something which led to the discovery of some pretty good data sources that are already available. In Bret's story, he mentioned some of the common data sources currently available, like the US Census Bureau's map data and the Reuters corpus, but his commenters came up with a few more. (See? This is why blog comments matter). In addition, as CNet and Ryan Stewart's blog spread the story, more people chimed in with suggestions. Infochimps.org Jigsaw
