EpistemeLinks.com Update Newsletter, v.6, #2, 4/23/2002
------------------------------------------------------
http://www.epistemelinks.com/
EpistemeLinks.com is now in its 6th year online! It has been about two months since the last newsletter, and I have a few items to report.
As always, the latest links added to the ELC database can be found at the What's New? page:
http://www.epistemelinks.com/New.aspx
Newsletter Headlines:
** New and Used Books Sections Merge **
** Audio Section Improved **
** Latest ELC "Gems of the Web" Winners **
** New Entries at the SEP **
** Upcoming Events in Philosophy (May/June) **
Details for each item follow below.
** New and Used Books Sections Merge **
The old search pages I provided for New books (Amazon.com) and Used books (Powells.com) have been combined into one, far more robust search page. This section now provides one simple form where you choose a site to search (i.e., Amazon.com, Powells.com, Half.com, and Alibris.com); choose either a Keyword or Author search type, and then choose from the four drop-down menus to search by philosopher name, topic, tradition/period, or concept. There are also free-form search boxes for each of these sites, and other search features as well. I think this new system is much improved!

** Audio Section Improved **
I've updated and expanded the Audio section, which provides links to philosophy audio material -- generally lectures and books available on CD or cassette tape. I cleaned up the search options and added to them so that you can now more easily search the over-200 included titles by philosopher or topic area. You can also see the entire lists of books or lectures, sorted by title, author/narrator, or source. I expanded the listings from Amazon.com and Blackstone, and I also added over 20 links to lecture-series available on Audio/Video from The Teaching Company. And finally, on this main search page I've added links to three notable sites: Thomas Hancock's list of links to online philosopher lectures and interviews (http://www.angelfire.com/ego/philosophyradio/), as well as www.Audible.com and www.Cassettes.com.
