Resources of Scholarly Societies - Physics
http://www.lib.uwaterloo.ca/society/physics_soc.html
The librarians of the University of Waterloo referee and maintain this list. A society's web site must meet guidelines for acceptance and the criteria include standards such as scholary nature, standard domain-name format, and at least two links to other documents relating to the same society. Part of the Scholarly Societies Project.

http://xxx.lanl.gov/archive
A free archive of research papers, both original works and reprints submitted by the authors, covering physics and related disciplines of mathematics, nonlinear sciences, computational linguistics, computer science, and neuroscience. Contributors and users may communicate with the archives server via the Web, e-mail, or ftp. Automated features allow users to register for e-mail alerts, etc. The Help link displays a table of contents with links to information on how to take full advantage of the site. This archive was established in 1991 and supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the U.S. Department of Energy. The server moved from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LNAL) to Cornell University where its founder, Paul Ginsparg, has accepted a position. The University of California at Davis has added a complementary subject directory and search form which it calls the Front for the Mathematics ArXiv. Math papers date back to 1992.
SLAC SPIRES HEP Database
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires/hep/
From the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), a national laboratory operated by Stanford University for the Department of Energy. It "searches more than 415,000 high-energy physics related articles, including journal papers, preprints, e-prints, technical reports, conference papers and theses, received by the SLAC and/or DESY [Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron] libraries since 1974."
http://www.ala.org/acrl/resmar00.html
The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) bulletin, C&RL News, regularly publishes a column, Internet Resources, which compiles and annotates Web sites by topic. The March 2000 column by Laurel Kristick, physical sciences coordinator for Collection Development at Oregon State University, covers physics websites. To scan the complete table of topics for this column, see http://www.ala.org/acrl/resrces.html.
http://physics.nist.gov/
From the National Institute of Standards and Technology, this site has links to entries on the following physical data: Physical Constants, Atomic Spectroscopic Data, Molecular Spectroscopic Data, Ionization Data, X-Ray and Gamma Ray Data, Radiation Dosimetry Data, Nuclear Physics Data, and Condensed Matter Physics Data.
http://physicsweb.org/TIPTOP
A comprehensive physics site from the Institute of Physics. Includes job announcements, conference deadlines, physics news flashes, and links to other useful physics sites.
http://www.vlib.org/Physics.html
Serves as the general physics directory for the WWW Virtual Library. Its opening page lists links to specialized physics sites, each one a self-contained component of the Virtual Library managed by a participating institution.
http://www.aip.org/history/
A thematic arrangement of people, events, and discoveries in physics. Includes a site index. Maintained by the American Institute of Physics.
http://www.rwc.uc.edu/koehler/biophys/text.html
An online textbook covering mechanics, fluids, electricity, magnetism, atomic physics, nuclear physics, thermodynamics, and wave physics.
http://history.hyperjeff.net/
Timelines depict a history of physics sub-divided into topics including statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, hypercomplex numbers, electromagnetic theory. Includes references, links, and portraits. Maintained by Jeff Biggus, a "physics history fan."
http://www.nasa.gov/
An all-purpose browsing guide to science and technology topics that relate to NASA's projects and documents depicting space travels. Students may find visuals and background reading helpful for astronomy assignments, enrichment, and self-learning.
http://www.superstringtheory.com/basics.html
A site meant to provide a rudimentary introduction to string theory along with information about related notions like theoretical physics, relativity, and black holes. Created by Patricia Schwarz, a researcher at Cal Tech.
http://www.Colorado.EDU/physics/2000/index.pl
Creators of this site describe it as an interactive journey through modern physics which aims "to make physics more accessible to students and people of all ages, to demonstrate the connection between modern technology and earlier basic research, and to foster an appreciation of the accomplishments of twentieth century physics." Features numerous interactive animations demonstrating physical laws. A product of the Physics Department of the University of Colorado at Boulder.
http://www.physicscentral.com/
The site's banner message, "learn how your world works," communicates the essence of its design. Content focuses upon principles (how plasma behaves), technical advances (superconductivity and its applications) instrumentation (realistic heavy ion collider), and human interest (profiles of people doing physics). High quality photos are used by permission from agencies such as NASA and JPL. Managed by the American Physical Society.
http://www.physlink.com
A commercial site that operates as an online education and reference resource. There's a wealth of informaton here, organized by tabbed headings and easy to browse. Apparently compiled and edited through volunteer efforts. Headed by president and creator, Anton Skorucak, credentials not listed.
http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/~heck/sfworlds.htm
A world-wide directory of astronomers, organizations, abbreviations, etc. Material is reviewed and authenticated. Maintained by Andres Heck, the Strasbourg Astronomical Observatory, editor of the book equivalent StarGuides.
http://id.mind.net/~zona/
Physical and mathematical concepts visualized for high school or undergraduate courses. Privately mantained by Edward A. Zobel, credentials not listed.
