The Ethics Education Library seeks
“to connect people interested in developing new and interesting ethics training
methods and programs, to disseminate best practices and tools that have
already been developed, and to ultimately foster the creation of new methods
and programs for teaching students about ethical issues inherent in research
and practice.” The browse feature can be used to look for online tutorials,
syllabi, teaching modules, and case studies. The case studies section has
more than 5,500 items, some of which are available in full text and all of
which have an abstract. There is also a search feature that can be filtered
by assessment, best practices, discipline, or subject.

Expand Your Search Engine Options
Paula Hane from InfoToday looks at some of the most useful current options
for search engines. While Google continues to dominate the search market,
some enterprising folks continue to seek out alternatives—for additional
features, interface preferences, spam avoidance, or privacy and security
reasons. Also, most of the top web search trainers implore people to expand
their horizons and try other search tools, including directories. It is best
to have a collection of tools on hand rather than just a single choice.
