Librarian in Black Blog – Sarah Houghton

Josh Catone at ReadWriteWeb recently posted a great list of How-To Sites: websites with resources that teach you how to do things.  In addition to the long list Catone provides, dozens of other sites are recommended by readers in the comments.  Well worth a look for websites to use with reference questions or information-seeking classes for the public! 

Beware though that many of the comment sites are merely people advertising their own sites, some of which are "for-pay" tutorials and others that have nothing to do with teaching. 

My favorite comment-found site, though, was this Custom Google Search: "How Do I…?", that searches video-based how-to sites.  I couldn’t find a list of the sites it searches, but perhaps I wasn’t looking hard enough.  I did have good success with the searches I ran, though, which is a good sign.
