WinPatrol 16.0.2009

http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html

The goal of the WinPatrol program is quite simple: to help users identify which programs are running on their computer and to alert them to any new programs that might be added without their permission. The WinPatrol mascot is a Scotty, and this dog serves as an appropriate symbol for their work. The program works to look for alterations created by various malware programs and visitors can view full reports about what WinPatrol finds during the course of its work. This version is compatible with computers running Windows 95 and newer. [KMG] Scout Report

As it may be time to get out the digital family photo album, it's nice to have a bit of help along the way. That's where the GIMP program can be of assistance. GIMP stands for GMU Image Manipulation Program and it performs as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, and a mass production image renderer. The program also includes a full suite of advanced painting tools and it has compatibility with a wide range of file formats. This version is compatible with computers running Mac OS X 10.5.6 and newer. [KMG] From Scout Report

Methodspace from Sage Methodspace from SAGE

Academic books and journals publisher Sage has launched a social networking site centred around research methods, as part of its year-long focus on the topic. Methodspace.com went live today, although it has been beta-tested since February. Sage is expecting the site to "bring together researchers from across the academic spectrum" for advice and support, or just to discuss methodology issues and controversies. Registered users also have access to free book chapters and journal articles, and will be told about relevant conferences and events

"The Bodleian's treasures, available to all"

Posted by Celia Walter | 29 Mar, 2009

In 2004, Google began a partnership with Oxford University Library to scan mostly 19th century public domain books from its Bodleian library. Five years on, we're delighted to announce the end of this phase of our scanning with Oxford, our first European partner. Together, we have digitized and made available on Google Book Search many hundreds of thousands of public domain books from the Bodleian and other Oxford libraries, representing the bulk of their available public domain content." - Inside Google Book Search
