It is difficult to use an R package if you don't know that it exists. You could go to the CRAN website and click the Packages link to see a list of available packages, but you'll have to wade through thousands of them. Moreover, many R packages do the same things.

How do you know which package does them best? The R-packages [mailing list](http://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages) is a place to start. It sends out announcements of new packages and maintains an archive of old announcements. Blogs that aggregate posts about R can also provide valuable leads. I recommend [R-bloggers](www.r-bloggers.com). RStudio maintains a list of some of the most useful R packages in the Getting Started section of [http://support.rstudio.com](http://support.rstudio.com). Finally, CRAN groups together some of the most useful—and most respected—packages by [subject area](http://cran.r-project.org/web/views). This is an excellent place to learn about the packages designed for your area of work.
