http://www.epistemelinks.com/
It has been over two months since the last ELC Update Newsletter. I've been as busy as ever so far in the new year. I hope you are doing well also.
As always, all the latest links added to the ELC database can be found at the What's New? page:

Newsletter Headlines
** The Oxford Companion to Philosophy **
** Philosophy-related Products section added **
** Two More Reference Sites Added to Sidebars **
** Improvements to the Images section **
** 18 New Entries at the SEP **
** Recent and Upcoming Events in Philosophy (March/April) **
Details for each item follow below.
** The Oxford Companion to Philosophy **
Good news! *The Oxford Companion to Philosophy* (1995, ed. by Ted Honderich) is now a part of www.xrefer.com, an incredible site that provides over 50 searchable reference works in all areas of study. EpistemeLinks.com has begun the task of adding links to articles from the OCP, and has already added links for each philosopher at ELC, and for some 200 topic articles so far. These links appear with other reference links, in the sidebar area of the Philosopher and Topic pages. Search for OCP entries by Philosopher and Topic at:
http://www.epistemelinks.com/Main/MainPers.aspx
http://www.epistemelinks.com/Main/MainTopi.aspx
** Philosophy-related Products section added **
A new main section has been created with links to sites offering Philosophy-related Products such as T-Shirts, art prints and posters, coffee-mugs, sculptures/busts, mousepads, bookmarks, stationary, and so on. I hope to add more links to this section in the near future. If you know of any such companies, please provide the URLs so I can evaluate them and add the link if appropriate.

** Two More Reference Sites Added to Sidebars **
In addition to the OCP, links from two other reference works from www.xrefer.com have also been added to ELC's database. Several dozen links to articles from *Market House Books Encyclopaedia of the Renaissance* and over a hundred links to articles from *Bloomsbury Guide to Human Thought* have now been added. Like the OCP entries, these appear in the sidebars for Philosopher and Topic pages at ELC:

** Improvements to the Images section **
The Images section was improved. It includes links to several additional Image Gallery sites, and now has a drop-down menu that lists specific philosophers that have Image Gallery links in the ELC database. Also, a link is provided to the powerful AltaVista ImageSearch technology.
