Exalead is a great search alternative to Google. The advanced search gives you easy access to your favorite targeted search techniques (e.g. filetype, site, inurl, intitle).
Use the “on a given site” option to search for org and edu sites.
There are also nifty narrowing options:
And it’s worth taking a look at “More choices,” as it gives you options to exclude along with additional sorting and narrowing choices.
Wow! The visual representations of statistics at Running the Numbers is really amazing:
This series looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might
have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 410,000 paper cups used every fifteen minutes.
This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. The underlying desire is to emphasize the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming.
Looking for information about the impact of climate change close to home? Wondering who’s working on efforts to combat climate change and mitigate its impacts in New Hampshire? A good place to find information is the State of New Hampshire’s website, Climate Change Efforts in New Hampshire.
On the site, you’ll find links to relevant Executive Orders issued by the Governor; to state agencies, cities, and towns working to combat climate change; and to reports produced by non-profit organizations, universities, and government agencies, among other information.
The BBC reported disturbing news about the Arctic ice cap last December. According to modelling studies, the Arctic is likely to be free of ice during the summers as soon as 2013.
And this from the folks at Focus the Nation:
According to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, to hold global warming to the low end (3-4 degrees F), global emissions of CO2 will have to peak in 2025—less than 20 years from now. Granting a 10-year lag for developing countries, this means that developed country emissions, including the US, must peak and begin to decline by 2015.
It’s urgent that we take action now at both the personal and political levels. There are many opportunities to learn how during the week of Focus the Nation activities beginning January 28.
Sex Libris is the alternate title for Red-Hot and Filthy Library Smut, a blog post about a beautiful book of photos of libraries around the world, of which it provides a sampling.
For any bibliophiles among us, we have the book, simply titled Libraries, here in the ANE Library.
According to an article in the Telegraph, MIT researchers are using cell phones to call owls.
When Eben Goodale wants to count the birds, he places a call that triggers phones in the forest to play, via speakers, pre-recorded owl calls, such as hoots and whistles.
Territorial owls raise their heads and approach what they think may be an intruder. If they respond with a hoot, the phones transmit the sound back to the “owl project” website.
