ResourceShelf
E-Mail Reminder
Week 198
January 27, 2005
http://www.resourceshelf.com
XML Feed: http://www.resourceshelf.com/resourceshelf.xml

Greetings from DC (Gary), FL (Shirl), NY (Steven) and PA (Dan).  Warm
and sunny in FL, but the roads are jammed with snowbirds and other
escapees from up north.  At any rate, here's the weekly reminder --
which contains just some of what you'll find at
http://www.resourceshelf.com/. Fresh material posted daily.  Visit
early and often.

And that goes for DocuTicker as well.  No weekly reminder for that
(yet), so cruise on over to check out the burgeoning collection of
reports, studies, issue briefs and government documents from a wide
range of organizations.  http://www.docuticker.com. The Docuticker XML/RSS
feed is at: http://www.docuticker.com/docuticker.xml

Have a great week.

Resources of the Week
By Shirl Kennedy, Deputy Editor
1) GIS--Coastal Observations and Forecasts
Source: NOAA
nowCOAST
We feature NOAA websites semi-regularly here because the agency keeps
coming up with all sorts of neat stuff. Here we have a "Web mapping
portal" that provides point-and-click access to "real-time coastal
observations and NOAA forecasts for major U.S. estuaries and seaports,
coastal regions and the Great Lakes." features -- panning, zooming in and
out, changing scale, etc.
--
--
2) Technology--Statistics
ITFacts.biz
In all honesty, we're not really sure who is behind this site; the
domain is registered to someone in Sweden. But we like what we see here --
maybe because it reminds us of ResourceShelf's sister site,
DocuTicker. Basically, this is a weblog that carries a steady stream of
links to news stories in which technology-related statistics appear.
Overall, it's an ongoing collection of pretty interesting stuff from
reliable media outlets and weblogs.
