This is the NEW class I'll be teaching at Pennsic.

Dudette! Awesome. Thanks for posting that. I can see some help here for some of the research I occasionally do here at work.

And I love the icon.

Thank you! When is this scheduled for? I haven't compiled my personal class list yet.

And theoretically, I'm giving a similar talk for my company sometime later this year. May I have your permission to use this? (properly cited of course)

Ah, here it is:

New and Advanced Research Tools
Discussion of new and/or free tools available to aid in historical research, including citation managers, specialized search engines, sharing tools.
AS 4 Wed., 8/6, 12 PM
Handouts 25 cents

Feel free to file off the serial numbers and use anything of this you want. This is *librarian* stuff. Marylaine Block has it right: "I have always maintained that librarians are the ultimate share-your-toys people, and that the worst punishment you could inflict on any of us is to offer to show us an incredibly useful free resource but only if we swear not to tell another living soul about it. "

What is your opinion of resources like scientificcommons.org? It's the only resource that you haven't mentioned that springs to mind. :)

Greetings Jadwiga
I wasn't able to attend your research class this past week but would like a copy of the handout. I can't find your email address anywhere.
