MARCH 2008  

 

NEW WEB SOURCES

Some amazing new databases have appeared recently, organizing the ever-expanding amount of information available on any given subject. As we move further down the road, away from print media and onto the digital highway, you can count on your local library to keep you aware of what’s out there. 

THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LIFE 
The Encyclopedia of Life (www.eol.org)  temp_file_eollogo launched on February 28th with the first 30,000 pages of biological information on all currently known species. This Mother Nature of all encyclopedias will live on the Internet and constantly evolve, drawing information from a variety of sources. Referred to as “a biological moon shot” by its godfather, biologist E.O. Wilson of Harvard, it takes advantage of new informatics methods. Its centralized Web portal will speed up the business of figuring out what’s what in the biological world and will allow for new opportunities to study such things as networks and evolutionary patterns. And it’s not just for scientists—a sliding button will let users choose the amount of information they want, making this site useful for students doing a report on the yellow fever mosquito or somebody wanting to identify plants in their local woods.

PUBLIC LIBRARY OF LAW

This new legal database (www.plol.org) plollogo  collects in one place a variety of legal information from many different sources. Sponsored by Fastcase, this easy-to-use site includes cases from the U.S. Supreme Court and Courts of Appeals, cases from all 50 states back to 1997, federal statutory law and codes from all 50 states, regulations, court rules and constitutions.

 REMINDER:
The Chappaqua Library records most of its adult programs and then airs them on NCCTV. DVDs of these programs can also be checked out of the library and watched at your convenience. Look for them in the AV area.
