[Back to Contents]All Academic: The Guide to Free Academic Resources Online
http://www.allacademic.com/
This professionally designed academic search engine and index offers a searchable database of scholarly articles and a browseable list of alphabetized links to online journals all available at no charge on the Web. The search results are listed in a choice of APA, MLA, or Chicago style and include abstracts for articles as well as the date of posting. Searches can be run by subject, author, publication, or article title. Scholars may post articles to the site -- subject to review. Clearly defined criteria are posted on-site, assuring that the content of the database remains academic and professional. Cleanly designed and easy-to-use, the site impressed us with the quality (if not always the quantity) of its search results, and we look forward to the possibility of this site developing into a major access point for free, high-quality scholarly publications on the Web. The Website was founded by Stephen Stolp, a professor of journalism at the University of Oregon, and Rick Peacor, a graduate student in history at the same institution. [DC]
[Back to Contents]Congressional Budget Office: Budgeting For Defense: Maintaining Today's Forces
http://www.cbo.gov/showdoc.cfm?index=2398&sequence=0&from=7
Released last month, this report from the Congressional Budget Office provides excellent background research for the current debate between the two major Presidential candidates over the American military's state of readiness. In keeping with its nonpartisan mandate, the report makes no recommendations, but it does summarize the current threats to US security, current military strategy, and the factors that drive Defense Department budgetary requests. In addition, the report offers estimates for budgetary requirements for sustaining defense capabilities at their current levels (as well as a discussion of the limitations to these estimates) and reviews alternative budget approaches, including reducing or raising defense funding.

[Back to Contents]Bisbee Deportation of 1917
http://digital.library.arizona.edu/bisbee/
In response to a strike called by the IWW among copper miners in the town of Bisbee, Arizona in 1917, local businessmen and law enforcement illegally rounded up over 1,100 striking workers, herded them into boxcars, and transported them over the Mexican border where they were abandoned. Created and maintained by the University of Arizona, this fine Web exhibit offers a wealth of primary and secondary materials on what is now known as the Bisbee Deportation, a signal event in American labor history. The Website includes IWW publications, personal recollections, newspaper articles from the time, court records, government reports, correspondence, and journal articles -- all presented in an accessible format with an essay giving the historical context. For researchers, there is also a complete inventory of the collection materials housed at the Library (click on Finding Aid) with links to those posted on the Website. [DC]
[Back to Contents]E-Rate and the Digital Divide: A Preliminary Analysis From the Integrated Studies of Educational Technology [.pdf, 231 pages]
http://www.urban.org/pdfs/erate_FR921.pdf
Executive Summary:
http://www.urban.org/education/erate.html
Funded by the Department of Education, this report offers the first comprehensive consideration of the effects of the Universal Service Fund for Schools and Libraries (known as the "E-Rate") created as part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 "to provide discounts on the cost of telecommunications services and equipment to all public and private schools and libraries." The specific aim of the provision is to make Internet connections more affordable for schools, particularly for schools in lower income areas. Based on an analysis of E-Rate administrative records covering the first two years of program operation and detailed national data on all public and private schools and libraries in the US, this report presents an analysis of the E-Rate's impact upon what has come to be called the digital divide. The report is generally sanguine in its determinations. It finds that public schools have taken most advantage of the program and that the program has succeeded in targeting poorer communities in both urban and rural areas. Also, it finds that applications steadily rose over the two-year period from the most impoverished school districts. The report concludes with recommendations for future analyses scheduled to be conducted in the next few years. [DC]

Drug Wars -- PBS Frontline [RealPlayer, Shockwave]
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/drugs/
Drug-Wars -- NPR [RealPlayer]
http://www.npr.org/news/specials/drugwars/
These sites are companions to the outstanding PBS Frontline program and National Public radio's (NPR) special on All Things Considered, both of which aired this week. Simply put, the two-part Frontline film was probably the most balanced and detailed examination of America's war on drugs ever aired on television. In addition, it contained numerous interviews with figures on both sides of the drug war, including people who had never before made themselves available to American journalists. Whether or not you watched the program, the companion site offers some excellent and engaging content. This includes video excerpts, charts and graphs, excerpts and unused portions from interviews featured on the program, as well as numerous features unique to the site, one of the deepest companion sites PBS has ever produced. The NPR site is a bit more modest, but it does offer the excellent radio reports from this week's All Things Considered special series. [MD]
[Back to Contents]Art for the Nation: Collecting for a New Century
http://www.nga.gov/feature/artnation/splash.htm
Here's another fine example of the National Gallery of Art's use of the Web to supplement its regular exhibitions. Art for the Nation, on display at the gallery until February 2001, showcases 140 works that the museum has acquired since 1991. The Website currently presents in-depth features on four artists: Degas, Harnett, Vernet, and Verspronck, with plans to add ten more artists in the next three months. The features include analyses of the works in the show, as well related art that's not in the show. For example, the Degas feature begins with The Dance Lesson, the painting in the exhibition, and from there moves to a section on the young dancers, prima ballerinas, laundresses, and milliners that Degas painted; a sculpture photographed in the round so that we can see all sides; and a section on the media -- oil paint, monotype printing, pastels, and chalk -- that Degas used in his work. Those fond of art trivia may want to try guessing which artists will be featured next, by examining the image excerpts on the splash page. [DS]

[Back to Contents]A Force More Powerful: A Century of Nonviolent Conflict [RealPlayer]
http://www.pbs.org/weta/forcemorepowerful/
The Companion site to a documentary series first broadcast last month on PBS, A Force More Powerful documents a century of civil disobedience, chiefly inspired by Gandhi's philosophy of satyagraha -- a combination of the Hindu words for "truth" and "holding firm." The Website examines six incidents of 20th-century nonviolent conflict in detail: the civil rights protest in Nashville in 1960, Gandhi's struggles with the British Crown in the 1930s, South African resistance to Apartheid in the mid-1980s, Denmark's attempts to undermine Nazi rule during World War II, the actions of the Polish labor movement in the early 1980s, and the protests to remove Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet from power in the early 1980s. Each section features a wealth of supplementary information including timelines, maps, interviews, a substantial historical overview, analysis, and a brief bibliography of print and Internet resources. The Website also offers a discussion list and short synopses of seven other incidents of civil disobedience as well as lesson plans, simulations, research activities, additional resources, and discussion questions for use in the classroom. Information on ordering videotapes of the documentary is also available on-site. [DC]

Created and maintained by Paul Spicker, a professor of politics specializing in social policy at the University of Dundee, this Website presents a detailed, yet schematic view of the main themes, concepts, and controversies surrounding issues of the welfare state and social services. The site offers sections on social policy, welfare and society, social need, the welfare state, social services, the politics of welfare, British social policy, social services in the UK, and social policy on the Web (a collection of annotated links). Using a hypertext, bulleted format, the author manages to convey significant amounts of information about complex ideas in a relatively brief span without oversimplifying. An excellent resource for economics and sociology students working on social policy topics. [DC]

Maryland State Data Center [.pdf]
http://www.op.state.md.us/MSDC/
In 1978, the US Census established a cooperative program with the 50 states to "make census information available locally through a network of State agencies, universities, libraries, and regional and local governments." As part of this effort, the Maryland Department of Planning, in cooperation with the State Library Resource Center (Enoch Pratt) and the University of Maryland's Computer Science Center, has produced an excellent Website posting up-to-date and archival data on the demographics of Maryland. "Sample profiles of 1990 census data, historic trends and forecasts are available here for Maryland, its six planning regions and jurisdictions" with charts highlighting key items from the profiles. Projections from this data include population, race, age, households, labor force, jobs, income, and school enrollment. Recent posts to the Website provide data on socioeconomic profiles of Maryland residents, foreign immigration to Maryland from 1992-1998, household median and mean income estimates, new school enrollment projections, and IRS-monitored state-to-state migration. Documents are posted in HTML, with some also available in .pdf format for printing. [DC]

http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2000/07/20/conspirators/index.html?CP=YAH&DN=110
On Sunday, the FBI issued its annual report on crime, a 422-page tome, which shows crime down in the United States for the eighth straight year. The report found a total of 11.6 million criminal offenses in 1999, or 4,267 crimes per 100,000 people, a 7.6 percent decrease and the largest drop in a single year in the last two decades. The nation's murder total of 15,533 victims represented an eight percent drop and a thirty-three year low, while rates of robbery, assault, burglary, forcible rape, and motor vehicle theft all fell between four and ten percent. The downward trend applied to virtually all types of crime in all areas of the country. While the news was considered to be good, criminologists warned that the declines were lower in the largest cities and that these numbers may be harbingers of an upswing in crime in the next decade. These same experts disagree over the causes of the decline in crime that has marked the decade of the 1990s. Many point to more police officers, tougher sentencing laws, and more prisons as primary factors, while others focus on good economic times, a greater focus on drug treatment, and the graying of the population. One curious fact to be gleaned from the data is that the person least likely to be murdered in America today would be a white, single woman living in Iowa or New Hampshire who does not have a male partner.
The FBI Uniform Crime Reports Website (1) posts the latest report as well as copies of previous reports going back to 1995 and data on incident reportings, hate crimes, and law enforcement officers killed or assaulted in the line of duty. The LA Times(2) and the New York Times(3) have posted stories summarizing the data and offering commentary on its trends from criminologists. An article from the Washington Post(4) focuses on the benefits for African-Americans in the drop in murder rates. The National Center for Policy Analysis presents summary and analysis of 1999 crime rates (5) based on the Justice Department's National Crime Victimization Survey released earlier this year (see the September 5, 2000 Scout Report for the Social Sciences). The Justice Policy Institute posted a report last week (6) arguing that California crime data show that stiffer penalties for drug crimes and other offenses have not positively affected the state's crime rates. Published this summer, a Salon.com article (7) examines the long sentences -- often nineteen years or more -- meted out to women whose only crime, in many cases, was having been involved with a man who sold crack cocaine.
