The full final version of this important research facility will be built up gradually over the duration of the conference, and will be the result of specific references from participants which in turn will be reviewed for quality and relevance. One of the dangers with the Net of course is that it is all too easy to get massive information overload. So, we must be careful to keep up our quality standards, otherwise all this work risks to be for nought.

To initiate this process, we would today draw your attention here to three basic strands. The first is the handful of Web pages that have been placed up front in the main entry page to the site (in the lower reaches of that left hand column on the Home Page) These are what we would call 'working sites' and have already been put to good use for both research and the organizational purposes of this conference. They are, thus, recommended tools and windows for the meeting.

For the second strand, below, we have searched the Net on three occasions for key words relating to the conference's concerns and have, not surprisingly, come up with thousands of hits. In the three lists that follow, we reproduce somewhat shortened versions of three such searches taken from a single search engine (Yahoo!), which we reproduce here both by way of first example and, incidentally, because we think that the quality of the results is worth drawing your attention to. Of course, you can run your own searches via any of the major search engines, as indeed we have. The advantage of the following is that we have done quite a bit of sorting and cutting to get this down to something at least not totally unmanageable. It makes for some interesting and informative surfing. Not bad for a start! And after all, that too is research!

The third link strand is the search engines themselves. Directly linked to this page, you will find direct links to the top dozen or so.

Search Example 1: Environment/Development Policies Listing

The path here involved a total of three iterations, beginning with Yahoo and then going to subsequent sub-sections entitled (1) Society and Culture, then (2) Environment and Nature, and finally (3)Environment and Development Policies. (If you wish to update this search you can simply CLICK HERE!).

Search Example 2: Environment,Policies, Sustainable Development

This Yahoo! search yielded about five times as many links, of which half are reproduced here. To reproduce the full latest listing yourself, you can CLICK HERE!).

Search Example 3: Society and Culture:Environment and Nature:Online Resources

This third and last Yahoo! listing identifies several dozen on-line resources (about 2/3's of the total) which are invaluable for the researcher willing to reach out in his work. Once again, you can run your own update of this listing if you CLICK HERE!).
