Intute - A British search directory for international resources

I just finished a course at FIS on Advanced Web Search Strategies. Apart from remembering all the features you should be utilizing in Google and Yahoo, the instructor Gwen Harris told us about Intute, from the UK http://www.intute.ac.uk/. This site has very good tutorials on different subject areas used in reference, a search engine to find them and indicates the relevance of those results. Here is one gleaned from a quick search on the keyword "government" See below:

The United Nations E-Government Readiness knowledge base provides researchers with free access to statistical data and some reports about the state of e-government readiness and delivery around the world. Primary source of data for the Knowledge Base comes from the United Nations Global E-Readiness Reports and Survey.It is possible to consult country profiles and build comparative graphs and charts of data. Topics covered include web access, E-participation and e-government services. Dates of coverage are displayed on the site. http://www.unpan.org/egovkb/

I am using Intute for learning more about business at the moment. LMS
