[…] Studenthacks.org - 101+ Web Resources for Students (worth checking through for what’s relevant to your course) […]

Wow! This is a great list. The style manual stuff is especially useful–those things can get so confusing. I also like LibriVox.org for a Lit resource–they have free downloadable audiobooks of lots of the classics (so you can listen while you do other things instead of spending the time reading). Pretty useful.

Good list!
There are also several online resources students might find useful that are not specifically meant for students. For example, free online storage, online word processors and spreadsheets (i.e. - Zoho), online calculators, math tools, social bookmarking, and so many more.

A tremendous amount of French articles in humanities and social sciences can be found here : http://www.persee.fr
Too specific to make it to your top list, but may be useful nevertheless.

Nice list, but be sure to look into your state and public libraries. Many public libraries now offer a ton of online resources, many of which you can log into from home using your public library id. My public library offers great resources like Safari Tech Books Online, as well as Rosetta Stone for learning foreign languages.

its a great source of informatioon. 
March 30th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
This would be a good site to add to your list. We (at school), use it for all kinds of little tidbits of info. It also allows you to add or create information about a subject that has is empty.
Thanks

April 15th, 2008 at 5:31 am
