What is going on here?
I'm not a big fan of blogger, but I love the handy "Send to" button on my Google toolbar.
As a result, I've developed a habit of using that button to send interesting links to this blog: pages, news items, and other goodies.
My more formal blogs are linked in the sidebar.

About ResourceShelf
ResourceShelf was founded in 2001 under the editorship of Gary Price, MLIS, a noted library consultant, speaker and trainer. Gary is ably assisted by editor Shirl Kennedy, MLIS, and a team of other editors. Every day, they add high-quality web-based resources, including databases, lists and rankings, real-time sources, and multimedia. They also post comments and observations about news in the information and web industry.
In 2004, a second site was added: DocuTicker guides users to full-text reports published by government agencies, nonprofits and NGOs, and other public interest organizations.
The two sites jointly host an average of 100,000+ page views each month. Our free weekly newsletter has a subscriber base of over 20,000 librarians, information professionals, researchers, journalists and other fans of web-based resources.
ResourceShelf and DocuTicker are published by Free Pint Limited, a UK-based publishing company with a network of sites and publications serving the information industry.
