Olindias Formosus (Flower Hat Jelly)

Ich wünsche mir dieses Jahr, dass wir an Weihnachten alle unsere Familien davon überzeugen, 2025 nicht die AfD, nicht die FDP, und auch nicht die CDU zu wählen. Ich wünsche mir, dass wir sämtliche Argumente vortragen, warum Friedrich Merz ein scheiß Kanzler wäre. Und ich wünsche mir, dass wir nicht nachgeben, auch wenn die Gespräche unangenehm werden.

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
