New Scholarly Search Engine

The Librarians' Internet Index alerts us to an online database from Great Britain that's designed to find high quality web sites for education and research: Intute.

With over 113,000 records, Intute's database includes only web sites that have been selected and evaluated by subject specialists, who then write descriptions of the resources. Intute also provides support materials and tutorials that help teach students how to search the internet within their subject areas.

One can also personalize Intute with Myintute, which allows a user to save records and searches; receive weekly email alerts; and export records to one's own web pages.
