New things I learned today;

Pandia
- Elvis Costells
          Presly
          
if you didn’t want information about Elvis Presly, type Elvis not Presly

“Elvis Presly” searches for only results with Elvis Presly
Elvis Presly searches for results with Elvis, Presly, and Elvis Presly


The WWW Virtual Library
- enables us to search for many topics
- what made me most interested was regional studies because I am interested in foreign cultures and history


Vimio
- only created video can be uploaded
- the videos tend to have high quality

icerocket

youtube university

itune university

google videos
- you can search for long videos 


I found The WWW Virtual Library the most useful because it enables us to jump to various kinds of academic studies done in other universities. For example, I am currently interested in history of foreign cultures. What I need to do to search for such topic is first I go to The WWW Virtual Library, choose regional studies, and pick whichever region I want to know about. In addition, they have many studies about regions we are not familiar with such as Africa, Hawaii, and Latin America. I suppose it will take a long time if I try to look for these sources via Japanese search engines. 
I also thought that google videos are very convenient because they enable us to watch videos that are too long to be uploaded to youtube.
