Research Resources for the Social Sciences
Maintained with commercial support from McGraw-Hill Ryerson publishers, this Canadian research bibliography is maintained by Craig KcKie at Carlton University, Ottowa. It arranges links to resources around the web into subject specialties, such as Demography, Women’s Studies, Geography, Psychology, Anthropology, Economics, and others.

However, the lists do contain links to many useful resources worldwide.
