The Internet Scout Project

Surf smarter, not longer.

The Internet Scout Project is sponsored by the National Science Foundation to provide timely information to the education community about valuable Internet resources. Daily and weekly updates are offered for K-12 and higher education faculty, staff, and students, as well as interested members of the general public.

Every day professional librarians, educators, and content specialists filter hundreds of announcements looking for the most valuable and authoritative resources available online. Information about the best of what we've found is then summarized, organized, and provided to the Internet community in various formats, including email and the Web.

Internet Scout's two flagship services, The Scout Report and Net-happenings, both celebrated anniversaries recently: the Scout Report has been published (almost) every week for the past three years, while Net-happenings has been published daily on a regular basis for the past four years.

For information about the people who make Internet Scout work, see our staff page. The Internet Scout Project is located in the Computer Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
