My assigned Internet research tool is Scout Report Archives a/k/a Internet Scout Project. This tool has been around since 1994 and is part of the University of Wisconsin. It seems to be geared more towards academics. It is a way of keeping informed of what they consider the most valuable online resources (websites, etc.).
Many people feel the Internet Scout Project is a very "important source for new developments and offerings on the web." These "new developments and offerings" can be provided directly to you via e-mail. The Internet Scout Project "aims to be the largest science, technology, engineering and math digital library every created."
This research tool is not very user friendly. There is no help function or any directions as to how to best do a search on this site so you just have to guess. It's an if you don't first succeed, try again and again and again situation.
The easiest way I found to search is through the archive directory as everything is listed by subjects or topics. I can't figure out the operators. The operator "and" works, but if you do an identical search using "or" you don't get any matches.
I did not find this tool very helpful.
