StandS4 Portal Develops Useful Reference Sites For Abbreviations, Quotes, Synonyms, Definitions And Conversion

Phill Bradley highlighted recently on his weblog two interesting search engines: Refseek and Quotes.net

College students and researches will probably love Refseek, an academic search engine that promises to ease their efforts to find information.

RefSeek aims to make academic information easily accessible to everyone. RefSeek searches more than one billion documents, including web pages, books, encyclopedias, journals, and newspapers.



I was pleased with my searching for the term "Reference" in Refseek, bringing to light results on the very first page from reputable sources like Wikipedia, www.Bartleby.com, Internet Public Library, www.Answers.com and Librarians' Internet Index.

Quotes.net is a site that has gathered and arranged thousands of quotes from famous people. Quotes.net is also part of STANDS4, a leading provider of free online reference resources with award winning websites for Abbreviations,Conversions,Definitions,Synonyms,ZIP Codes and References.

With the exception of References ( where the Libraries category is empty?) all other reference web pages on STANDS4 site (Abbreviations, Definitions etc) are well presented, easy to search and well organized.
