Friends, I know the people served by most members of this Forum are researchers and students in the areas of science, technology and medicine. There is, however, a substantial number of students, teachers and researchers in the fields of humanities and social sciences in India (even if they are often treated as poor cousins), and there are libraries and information centres and services catering to their needs. Here is something the HSS community will find useful. http://newsbreaks.infotoday.com/NewsBreaks/The-Best-Open-Tools-for-Discover… Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
