#Online Resources

[victusinveritas]

Google is so powerful that it "hides" other search systems from us. We just don't know the existence of most of them.

Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information.

Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free.

hey everyone! i recently compiled a bunch of useful links to various online archives, libraries, and the like, and i wanted to share the result since i feel like a lot of these resources would be very useful to people!!

feel free (enouraged even) to repost/share this wherever you want, or even take the links for your own masterposts or compiled resources or whatever. the goal i had in mind when making this was to share knowledge, not to take credit or anything, so go wild!

fair warning this is fairly targeted towards online leftist queer spaces since those are the circles i run in but this is tumblr so figured that wouldn't be a problem lol

also, if anyone has any cool sources or links they want me to add to make it more comprehensive, just hit me up!

#original #resources #online resources #archive #internet #science #culture #history #language #queer #queer history #lgbt history #marxism #communism #anarchism #adding as many tags as i can think of lol #kind of really want this to spread i was proud of it #and i think it would be useful to others #oh more tags hold on #project gutenberg #internet archive

Wondering if anyone would like a dedicated website (like a neocities/Carrd type deal) for my Internet Trinkets tag?

It’s mainly just internet tools, games, guides, resources, books and all kinds of links I’ve found to make the internet experience much more useful and fun, i.e, away from the nightmares of subscriptions, paywalls, hate and fear, as much as possible!

I’d want it to be like a little cornershop with the stuff you’d need, like milk and eggs and bread! Except in this context, it’s internet essentials and some stuff you didn’t think you needed, but do!

@good-morning-czernobog ‘s carrd as well as the likes of masterposts and websites like FrogLand have contributed to this idea, but I’d like some definite input from where this all started.

TLDR:

Want a website full of internet tools to make your life nicer?

Reblog are appreciated but no pressure ^^

I have a friend who's currently building a Discord server that could act as a safe place for solarpunk, hopepunk enthusiasts and more generally people who'd like to do more for the planet and society.

They'd need Administrators (who'd help with event planning and the inner workings of the tech behind the server) and Moderators (to ensure that this place remains a safe space).

Anyone who's interested in this, just dm me your Discord username and I'll send it to them! :)
