Search Plugins

If anyone’s interested I’ve updated my Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Search plugin. It will now work in any and all ‘Open Search’ enabled browsers such as Firefox 2.0+ and Internet Explorer 7.0+. I’ve created a plugin for each of their mirrors so you can search from four different continents…maybe if you’re on holidays?

Internet Tools to Assist in Research

I’m not sure how many of our readers conduct their research online but I am fairly net-centric in my approach. Maybe it’s due to my being an external student without physical access to a decent library, or perhaps it’s due to the changing times and the digitization of many fantastic books and, in particular, journals. Anyhow, I thought I’d begin this post in the hope that readers could contribute their experiences etc. relating to how they organise their research, online or off, and what tools they find the most effective.
