** Amazon.com Web Services Section Added **
A new
feature of the site has been added: Amazon.com Web Services Book Search. Here I
provide a form for keyword searches of the books database at Amazon.com. You can
search by philosopher, topic, tradition/period, concept, or any word of your
choice. You can combine search terms to narrowly filter your results. The
results are displayed here at EpistemeLinks.com, which allows you to quickly
modify your searches to find what you are after. And remember... by making
purchases at Amazon.com by following these links, you are helping to support
EpistemeLinks.com and its creator. Thanks!

**
Over 400 Links to Columbia Encyclopedia Entries Added **
The Encyclopedia and
Reference section now has over 400 links to entries from The Columbia
Encyclopedia (2001, Sixth Edition), available online at Bartleby.com.

**
Link Sweep Updates/Removes Hundreds of Dead Links **
I have again undertaken
a "dead-link" sweep of the ELC database, looking for URLs that need to be
updated or removed if no site can be found. So far, this investigation has
cleaned up hundreds of URLs in the University Departments, Classroom Resources,
Journals, Organizations, Publishers, and E-Texts sections. Additional sections
will be researched in the coming weeks. As always, if you find a link that you
think might be broken, please let me know and I will investigate.
** 186
Additional Links to Quotation Pages Added **
An additional 150 links were
added to the Quotations section. These are the philosopher quotations pages from
The Philosophers Magazine's database of quotations. I've also added 36 links in
the Quotations section to philosopher quote pages at WikiQuote.org.
http://www.epistemelinks.com/Main/MainQuot.aspx
**
LookSmart Links In, AltaVista Links Out **
I have removed the AltaVista
directory links from the ELC database. AltaVista is using the same underlying
directory that Google is, so having both was redundant. In place of these links
I have added over 200 links to the directory sections at LookSmart. These will
appear, along with links to directory pages at Google and Yahoo, at the bottom
of each Philosopher and Topic main page. The new LookSmart links are not listed
individually below.
** New Entries at the SEP **
I like to draw
attention to the latest entries at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy,
because it provides such well-written articles. Since my last newsletter, the
SEP has added 22 more articles, listed below. These articles are all linked from
their publication list page at http://plato.stanford.edu/published.html. (Authors are
