I love reading. I love learning. For several years now, I have been receiving a Friday morning email, from the Scout Report. There is always an item that I would like to learn more about. I also find that there is something to pass on to someone else. My extended family generally being the recipient.

This past month for example, one week's sampling includes:
====== Research and Education ====
1. John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum
2. Miller Center of Public Affairs
3. International Network for Traditional Building, Architecture & Urbanism
4. Library of Congress Information Bulletin
5. Johns Hopkins Medicine Podcasts
6. Intute: Interactive Chemistry Tutorials
7. Japan’s Pop Power
8. Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education
====== General Interest ====
9. Celebrating 40 Years of Film in New York City
10. HGTV: Crafts
11. The World According to Sesame Street
12. The Genographic Project
13. Academy of Achievement
14. National Collegiate EMS Foundation
15. Eye on Europe: prints, books & multiples / 1960 to now [Adobe Flash
16. Rockefeller University: Information Technology


After the listing, there will be a short blurb for each of the items as well as the weblink.

Very interesting - I've heard of this report before, but never had time to investigate.
