DRI Information resources

Information resources I think might be useful to DRI people, maintained by Jim Davis.

DRI information

search DRI public files
Full test search of files on our WWW server and archives of DRI mailing lists. Or browse through the file system tree.
Software environments pages
The Design Research Institute
The home page for our Web server, this is our "front door" to the rest of the world.

Meta-Servers

These are the "Yellow Pages" of the Internet. Some of these are lists or collections of "good sites" which you browse visually, and others are search systems (you fill in a form, and it tells you what it has). The advantage of the lists are that if they are not too long, you can search them by eye, and if they are well organized, you can search quickly. The search systems are usually much larger, and often contain information gathered by automatic agents which exhaustively traverse the entire Web. Unfortunately no single one of these systems is the best. You will certainly want to try at least the first three.

Searches

The first three are all very powerful and comprehensive.
