Oh dear. Had I not let everyone know about this one months ago? I really thought I had, especially after wow posted another one I've been quietly using for months/years.
The only downside is that it's a bit "merkin" for my liking. Trying picking "academic reference libraries" and see what you get.

CapitalKi: What is the one you've been quietly using for months that wow posted? Would you list it here if it's not already in this thread? I have to put together a course in Internet research for this summer and would appreciate any links to add to what I've gathered--although I sure lost many when my computer crashed yesterday.
Many thanks,
WW

 Calm down, Bill. Really, I should, if I were you.
