Weekend update: More research links from the week

Some nice collections of research links showed up this week. I especially like the 'Research beyond Google' list, and the great polls guide.

I haven't been checking all the places I usually do, though, since I seem to have less time to read blogs lately. Also, I recently lost an email address I'd been using for years so haven't been seeing some of the email research lists I'd subscribed to; need to resubscribe. Many of the lists I have used, though, are listed here, although this list needs updating too.

The links:

Reference:

Research Beyond Google: 119 Authoritative, Invisible, and Comprehensive Resources from the Online Education Database, great list of best research databases.
