Yet another site of the week from Gary Price, whose work has been featured here twice before, this page will be certain to please anyone looking for reputable news sources. This site, still under development, offers access to free electronic academic publications. Your search results will consist primarily of journal articles and convention papers. The current database of publications is on the meager side, but hopefully this concept will catch on and the database will expand. Just a few years ago, one would consider making a trip to a major library to access one of the thousands of useful documents produced by the U.S. government.
