UNESCO Institute for Statistics [pdf]
http://www.uis.unesco.org/ev_en.php?ID=2867_201&ID2=DO_TOPIC
Established in 1999, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) was designed
to meet both the needs of UNESCO Member States and to provide the
international community with a wide range of statistical information in
order to "analyze the efficiency and effectiveness of their programmes and
to inform their policy decisions." The UIC is hosted by the University of
Montreal, and performs work around four primary themes, including education,
literacy, culture & communication, and science & technology. Overall, the
site is a remarkable source of information, including databases, working
papers, country profiles, statistical tables, and methodological material
about the conduct of their research. Several of these works are featured
prominently on their homepage including a working paper on financing the
expansion of educational opportunity in Latin America and the Caribbean and
an electronic questionnaire on science and technology.

Sharing folders over the net
I found a nice (and free) service today - FolderShare. It allows you to upload files to a FolderShare library which will then automatically be updated on all connected computers.
I found it simple to use, bug free (so far anyway) and there is no file size limit.
I use it to sync my laptop with both my office (in different cities) comps, to share and update my favourites list and songs for my ipod.

JMC Abstracts över avhandlingar och mastersuppsatser i journalistik och masskommunikation
Journalism & Mass Communication Abstracts, tidigare Journalism Abstracts, är en amerikansk referensdatabas som ligger fritt på Internet och täcker avhandlingar och masters-uppsatser i ämnesområdet journalistik och masskommunikation. Titel, författare, institution, ämne och abstracts är sökbart och täckningen är från 1996 till dags dato. Det går också att söka enbart på avhandlingar eller enbart masters-uppsatser och att bläddra båda kategorierna efter utgivningsår.
UMI digital dissertation abstracts täcker amerikanska avhandlingar i alla ämnesområden och här kan alla avhandlingarna från JMC Abstracts beställas (allt annat än billigt) i fulltext. Många avhandlingar i UMI kan man få ett smakprov av i fulltext genom en 24 sidors PDF. Bara 2003-2004 går att söka på Internet. Masters-uppsatserna i JMC Abstracts finns inte i UMI.
