In addition, The Internet Scout Project provides a number of Internet search aids including The Scout Toolkit. Another feature of The Internet Scout Project is The Scout Report, a weekly e-mail newsletter that provides detailed critiques of research and educational resources. Each week hundreds of Web sites are reviewed by librarians, educators and subject specialists for possible inclusion. Web resources are rated based on the sites authority, currency, intended audience, purpose, scope, and accuracy of the materials. The Scout Report for Science and Engineering, The Scout Report for Business and Economics, and The Scout Report for Social Sciences provide detailed summaries of resources in a given discipline.
Sources covered include books, journals, conferences, grant announcements and other useful sites.
