Clippings Run Amuck...

I use Bloglines to track various news sources and "clip" those that are interesting to me or perhaps blog-worthy. Occasionally, the clipping list gets very, very long and I must tidy up with what is known in the blog world as a "linkdump." For example:

The Library Metaphor, an editorial on learning and knowledge, by Roger Schank...

Google has launched a News Archive search... 200 years worth!
Resource Shelf gives a good summary of various online reference services... AskHere PA didn't make the cut... yet. California, Maryland, Colorado, Indiana, and Oregon did.
The Resource Shelf people never sleep... here is a good summary of search engines for radio and TV transcripts....
Microsoft just launched their online question service....

RedLightGreen is going offline, with interesting comparisons to the newly released WorldCat, from Resource Shelf...
LibraryThing notes some book swap sites... What's on My Bookshelf?, the previously mentioned Book Mooch, and Read It Swap It...

Ancient Writings Revealed... hidden messages from Archimedes... from the National Science Foundation, Stanford, and others...
Free printable Highway Travel Guides...
Some fascinating card catalog art, from the University of Iowa, via librarian.net...
While you're at it, have some fun with the catalog card generator, same source...
Curious George finally got his own TV show... or is that a step down after the movie?
