Goodreads

“If we encountered a man of rare intellect,” Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, “we should ask him what books he read.” As a group of avid readers, educators, librarians, and computer scientists, we take those words to heart when deciding which book to dive into next. Fortunately, it’s now possible to find out what people of all sorts are reading, and maybe recommend a few yourself, via the innovative interface of Goodreads. Search for a book’s title to find out what others have
thought of it; follow your friends to see what they’re reading; keep track of the books you’ve finished; and contribute your own reviews and ratings to the site. A simple star rating system, easy-to-use tags, and the option to write an in-depth review make this website a fantastic way  to organize your reading list and remember the key details of books of years past. Goodreads is not only a fine place to find your next “good read,” but also a great way to keep track of books you’ve enjoyed. Visitors can log in to create their own lists of books, along with annotations, comments, and ratings. Additionally, visitors can search and browse other readers’ profiles, take literary quizzes, and look over  hundreds of book lists. Author pages collect writers’ bibliographies for an easy way to find more books based on those already read. Finally,  the Recommendations area suggests more books individual users might enjoy, drawing from their ratings, tags, and virtual “shelves.”  This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Today In History
http://www.stevenlberg.info/today/

Professor Steven Berg of Schoolcraft College has been working with his students to create this well-thought-out and interesting website. The purpose of the site is to focus on “only one event each day which is put in a socio-cultural context.” Each day, the site features a new brief on a notable historical event such as the feast of Saint Pope Mark or the opening of the celebrated Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris. While the quality of the student contributions varies (it is, after all, a blog rather than scholarly writing), the mission of the site makes it inspiring for others looking to enlist students in contextualizing and writing about history. In addition, Berg welcomes contributions from outside parties, so those in college settings may wish to inquire further. It’s fun to look through the entries and see what students have profiled so far, and it’s a nice way to learn about various intriguing events in human history.  This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Public Art Archive
http://www.publicartarchive.org/

Public art is for everyone, and this website is a terrific way to learn about the works in your local community. Launched in 2009, the Public Art Archive “helps explorers find information about public art in their world.” We liked that this archive sourced submissions from people across the country, making the site a valuable repository of information about projects large and small. To get a feel for the site, start with the Collections area to travel through pictures of works at the Albany International Airport, Atlanta’s Beltline, and other locales. Or why not mix things up by looking around the By Year area, which is a good way to get a sense of the progress and transformation of public art. Also, the blog is a fine potpourri of updates about calls for new public art, networking opportunities, and more. The Public Art Archive was launched in 2009 as a free resource for comprehensive data and extensive information about thousands of public art installations across the United States. New users should visit the About area for information about the functionality of the site and its history. After a quick visit here, the Browse tab filters this information by artist, collection, location, materials, work type, placement and year. Those unacquainted with the world of public art would do well to start in several large cities like Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, and Miami. The clickable map interface makes it easy and quite enjoyable to look at different cities and regions quickly. Browsing around by year is interesting as well; the works are listed chronologically all the way back to the year 1802. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
