Mining ResourceShelf

ResourceShelf is one of the most fruitful sources of links to high quality websites. Some of the sites they have recently pointed out include:
   Best Places to Live 2005 from CNN/Money ;
   Failed Banks, from the FDIC, including lists of banks, historical statistics, information about unclaimed funds, etc.;
   GamesForTheBrain, games and mental exercises for grownups; some of them definitely look addictive...;
   a discussion of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) resources;
   a discussion at Peter's Digital Reference Shelf about Lonely Planet Online and Sidestep;
   a Pew Internet Report on spyware;
   Trailers of Historically Significant Films, from the University of Houston Digital History website (wow);
   a federated search tool for engineering, mathematics & computing at EEVL Xtra (detailed discussion at Resource Shelf);
   International Shark Attack File, from University of Florida; and,
   charts from the World Bank ranking the countries of the world by GDP and some other measures, including a nifty one called 'purchasing power parities';
       This list barely scrapes the surface of their recent offerings. They have an RSS feed if you want to keep up with them.
