Getting Started Sites

The following sites I can only really consider a “jumping off point” for much of information on MIT resources, committees, news and  departments. Unfortunately navigating these spaces using the search function tend to be so broad and even search engines don’t tend to have great functionality, often being only a bit better than Ctrl+F, and occasionally retrieve dead domains.


The Obvious:
{ Source : [https://mit.edu] } / { Source : [https://web.mit.edu] }

MIT IS&T service has the option for users to create their own wiki’s making this the site to look through them:

{ Source : [https://wikis.mit.edu] }


General but sanitized facts & factoids about MIT:
{ Source : [https://facts.mit.edu] }

 

MIT Mobile, kind of the hotspot for more useful shortcuts for students:
{ Source : [https://mobi.mit.edu] }

 

Resource Dump, gives a list of domains that have “key information about MIT” but by no means comprehensive for all domains:

{ Source : [https://referencepubs.mit.edu] }


MIT’s Quora of sorts, presents similar “dead website” issues. Okay for searching:
