Spoke by phone with my friend Gary Price the other day. He’s a research librarian who founded ResourceShelf, DocuTicker (which offers a hand-picked selection of resources, reports and publications from government agencies, NGOs, think tanks and other public interest organizations) and also works for Ask.com.
Among some cool sites that are on Gary’s radar screen and worth a look:
• International Children’s Digital Library, a library for the world’s children. (I’m introducing my 7-year-old to it this week.)
• Diplomacymonitor, which uses a crawler that looks for primary documents from any country that places them online, so you can get first-hand access to source materials without any filter from the mainstream media.
• Publicradiofan,
a real-time guide to the programming on every public radio station. It lets you build your own favorite stations.
• WRN.org, which specializes in bringing together international broadcasts under one roof.
Great stuff.
