SEARCH ENGINES & RESEARCH TOOLS

"In the beginning, the cosmos was a shapeless, chaotic mass, with Google brooding over the dark vapors ....".

Editor's Note: Indeed, Google (or, preferably, Advanced Google) is a good place to start when searching for information online. But it may not be a good place to finish if the desired information requires a complex query or is buried somewhere in the "invisible web." A huge number of specialized directories and search engines are now available to help the researcher converge on the right file. Below are links to some of those I have found more useful to support Solidarity & Sustainability research. These are followed by a few selected Solidarity & Sustainability games. These can be highly educational. Some are designed for kids, others just for fun. They are good "sanity checks." When doing Solidarity & Sustainability research, keeping a healthy sense of humor is indispensable.
