[Interpretationandmethods] search engine for global development studies

[Jeremy Hunsinger]

Focuss.eu provides a high quality search engine for practitioners,  
researchers and students in the area of global development studies.  
Other than generic search engines, like Google and Yahoo, focuss.eu  
indexes a specific choice of electronic resources, selected by  
librarians, researchers and practitioners working in participating  
institutions. The resources are selected based on their relevance for  
the development studies and the quality of the information.

Individual researchers, students and practitioners can contribute by  
adding their bookmarks. More information can be found in the menu  
option [YOUR CONTENT].

The current focuss.eu initiative is based on the personal activities  
of a limited number of individuals. We believe that with the help of  
other librarians, practitioners, researchers and students we can set  
up a valuable service for many people who are active in the  
development arena as well as for people who live and work in the  
global south.

This is why we are looking for people who wish to join the initiative  
and contribute their e-resource links to the search engine. And  
equally important: we seek your support in promoting this initiative  
in your institution or organisation!

Words are things; and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a  
thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions,  
think. --Byron
