The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Eds. James Fieser, Ph.D, University of Tennessee at Martin and Bradley Dowden, Ph.D., Sacramento State)
http://www.iep.utm.edu/
"The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy was founded in 1995 for the purpose of providing detailed, scholarly information on key topics and philosophers in all areas of philosophy. The IEP is free of charge and available to all Internet users world wide." This scholarly source makes it easy to search for any name or topic in philosophy.

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (The Metaphysics Research Lab, Stanford University)
http://plato.stanford.edu/contents.html
The SEP was designed so that "each entry is maintained and kept up to date by an expert or group of experts in the field. All entries and substantive updates are refereed by the members of a distinguished Editorial Board before they are made public. Consequently, [the SEP] maintains academic standards while evolving and adapting in response to new research." This refereed source is slowly gaining in coverage. Entries are updated, but not all listings have links to information.
