Another month into 2006, and more fun/useful websites! I know I missed
last month...attendance at a conference prevented me from spending the
time to write these up. But I'm back on track now, and we'll continue
with the updates through the rest of 2006.

As always, if anyone has any suggestions for sites that might be of
interest to the UTC community, feel free to email them my way. I'll take
a look, and see if they meet the strict criteria for making it on my
list. :-)

Here's a few (more) websites that might be of interest to members of the
UTC community, courtesy of the Lupton Library Reference Department (and
the resident Internet junkie, Reference/Instruction Librarian Jason
Griffey). In addition, due to a couple of requests, I've set up a
webpage that archives these lists on a monthly basis. The archives can
be found at:

Our Documents 
http://www.ourdocuments.gov

An amazing website with discussion and links to 100 of the most
important documents in the history of the United States, from the
Virginia Plan to the Marshall Plan. Includes incredible high-resolution
scans of the original documents, and puts them in a context. Useful for
any culture/history of the US class. 

PhilSci Archive 
http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/

An electronic archive for preprints in the philosophy of science. It is
offered as a free service to the philosophy of science community. The
goal of the Archive is to promote communication in the field by the
rapid dissemination of new work. 

Evolutionary Timeline 
http://andabien.com/html/words/evolution-px.htm

If you ignore a bit of the text, this is a great timeline to show the
relative span of time for different major events in the evolutionary
process of life on Earth. Gives students a frame to understand the
timeline involved. 

WorldMapper
www.sasi.group.shef.ac.uk/worldmapper/thumbnails/mapindex1-12.html

A series of non-geographically accurate maps, with the relative sizes of
the land mass skewed to show data. Again, a very visual way to
illustrate points to students regarding things like population and
immigration on a global scale. 

The Supreme Court Collection 
http://supct.law.cornell.edu/supct/index.html

The collected decisions and happenings at the US Supreme Court. Hosted
by Cornell Law School, the site provides oral argument previews, a host
of information, and my favorite, the ability to subscirbe via email or
RSS.

Thanks again, and have a great summer!

Jason
