1.  New Archive Features
The Internet Scout Project is pleased to announce new features available in
the Scout Archives. These new capabilities attempt to tap into the
collective expertise of Scout Report readers in order to benefit the entire
Scout community. From the Full Record page for any Scout Archives entry, you
can now rate the usefulness of the resource and provide comments about that
resource for other readers. Also, after rating a few resources, you may now
obtain recommendations on other resources (in a fashion similar to book
recommendations on sites like Amazon.Com). To use these features, you will
first need to register and log in (registration is brief and free). As
always, if you discover any factual errors, bad URLs, or other problems,
please let us know by sending a note to scout@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or via the
feedback form on our website. Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new service.
