recommended that you use multiple sources, cross-check data and routinely perform due diligence reviews
on sources and publications to which you cite. The Web is a dynamic entity - sites often change URLs,
content focus, and ownership. Many sites go offline with little or no notification. This guide is updated
regularly in an effort to present resources that have been verified at the time of publication.]

Selected Web, Blogs, News, Video Search and Alerts Services

Web Search - searching and locating relevant, reliable and actionable information will benefit from actively
using a range of search tools, in your research process. A selection of sources from which to choose
dependent upon your research requirements, are as follows:

bing (http://www.bing.com/) from Microsoft - Search the web, news, images, videos, maps, travel info, history,
weather, and more e-commerce related content. The Bing Help (http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-
us/bing/ff808535.aspx) directory provides user friendly explanations for features and tools, including the range
of email alerts, updates and search options available. Also, users may obtain guides to and explore other
search engine features here (http://www.bing.com/explore?FORM=BXFD) .

blekko (http://blekko.com/) - With blekko, search is accomplished using a tool to filter results, called slashtags
(http://blekko.com/tag/show#directory) . "The new blekko has significant improvements to index quality and
relevance. We are also now automatically applying slashtags for over 500 categories. That means users
will get the benefit of curated search results (i.e., no spam) for over 500 search categories, regardless of
whether or not they manually append a slashtag to their query." See also 14 Facts & more about blekko

Federa ed Search

The power and relevance of federated search is succinctly described as mining the deep web, and
explained by the Department of Energy's Office of Scientific & Technical Information: "To get to the deep
web, you need discovery tools, such as Science Accelerator
(http://www.scienceaccelerator.gov/resourcedescriptions) (DOE science information), Science.gov
(http://www.science.gov/) , (U.S. science information), and WorldWideScience.org (http://worldwidescience.org/)
(global science information). With these tools you can find the richest scientific content the results of
billions of dollars worth of government-sponsored scientific research results. In one query, you can search
multiple databases at one time, sort through the information in ways that are useful to you, and rapidly
return relevant results to your desktop.

See also Deep Web Research 2011 (http://www.llrx.com/features/deepweb2011.htm) , by Marcus P. Zillman - an
extensive and diverse bibliography of applications, sources, services, and tools to facilitate mining the deep
web.

EconPapers (http://econpapers.repec.org/scripts/search/search.asp?pg=-1) "use the RePEc (http://repec.org/)
bibliographic and author data, providing access to the largest collection of online Economics working
papers and journal articles. The majority of the full text files are freely available, but some (typically journal
articles) require that you or your organization subscribe to the service providing the full text file. RePEc is a
distributed data set residing in over 1100 archives operated by research organizations, academic
departments and publishers."

publications that includes descriptive records for historical and current publications and provides direct links

EigenFactor (http://www.eigenfactor.org/) [alpha] - Ranking and Mapping Scientific Knowledge: "The
Eigenfactor Project is a non-commercial academic research project sponsored by the Bergstrom lab in the
Department of Biology at the University of Washington. We aim to use recent advances in network analysis
and information theory to develop novel methods for evaluating the influence of scholarly periodicals,
generating paper recommendations, and mapping the structure of academic research. By uncovering the
hierarchical structure of scholarly citation, we can identify key papers pertaining to any search query. For a
reader new to the field we can find the classic and foundational papers; for an expert we can find the latest
innovations."

Google Scholar Advanced Search (http://scholar.google.com/advanced_scholar_search?hl=en&as_sdt=0,21) ,

Blog Sea ch

The dramatic ascendance of social media is in no small measure responsible for a corresponding fall in the
demand for blog specific search engines. This phenomenon correlates to the collapse of competition in the
web search sector, as documented by the current dominance of just three services: Google, Bing and
Yahoo. Blogs continue to flourish however, and researchers should regularly search for [or subscribe to
specific feeds and updates] and read their respective content. Follow the postings of authors whose
professional, current, well documented topical content comprises an integral component of an effective CI
strategy.

"The new European Patent Register (https://register.epo.org/espacenet/regviewer) delivers exactly the same
information as before: procedural information for patent applications handled by the EPO, online file
inspection (click on the "all documents" tab) and legal status information for the national phase. Nothing
added, nothing taken away, except that it is all packaged in a newly designed user interface. The new
design offers improved layout, usability, ergonomics and navigation, using contemporary design criteria,
which we've implemented in consultation with the user community."
