PRIVACY PERSPECTIVES FOR ONLINE SEARCHERS

I was catching up on my reading in Searcher, "the magazine for database professionals," and found this great article. It has good general information about protecting an individual's privacy, a great help if you freelance from home. There is a special section devoted to protecting your privacy as an information professional, which we most definitely are. This includes some free Web sites which will evaluate your security for you.

RESEARCHROUNDUP

Law Library Research Exchange (LLRX.com), in and of itself a great resource, has a nifty column written by Kathy Biehl, co-author of "The Lawyer's Guide to Internet Research." In November, 2000, she wrote a wonderfully useful column, "Searchable Intellectual Property Databases - Updated." The article describes the free and fee-based databases and provides links. Most of the databases are for the U.S., including some state links and a few cover Canada and Europe. In February, 2001, Biehl wrote the extremely helpful "Business Filings Databases - Updated," with descriptions of and links to state corporate and business filings online databases. Find these and her other ResearchRoundup columns at:

TIME TRAVEL -
LOCATING SOURCES OF HISTORICAL STOCK QUOTES

I often see requests for help finding historical stock quotes on PRSPCT-L . So here's another nugget from LLRX to help you out. Jan Bissett, reference librarian with Dickinson Wright PLLC. and Margi Heinen, librarian at Jaffe, Raitt, Heuer & Weiss bring us a fine compilation of resources for finding historical stock information on the Web.
