OF THIS AND THAT

Here are some neat sites that I’ve found recently. Enjoy!

Free Lookups
http://www.melissadata.com/lookups
Look up almost anything with this list of links. Arranged in categories: address and street data, everything ZIP codes, business and professional, maps and aerial views, radius searches, statistics and averages, locations and demographics, and federal resources (USA).

ALA Professional Tips Wiki
http://wikis.ala.org/professionaltips/
From the huge list of resources the ALA Library staff have accumulated over 80 years. Everything from Intellectual freedom to user services to types of libraries—and more.

Librarian’s E-Library
(URL too long to write here, Google it)
“Selected resources on Libraries and librarianship from the American Library Association Library and a growing list of volunteers.” (A Google Co-op Custom Search Engine product)

The Australian Index
http://theaustralianindex.com/
“Exploring Australian Blogs.” You can search for a blog, see “recently updated” ones, and “interesting posts.”

“Inspiring Visions of Earth.” Photo of the day and an archive. The photos are magnificent.
