oh, don't forget...
On the home page, just type in a cell phone number and a brief message ("edit new rubrics") and this site sends it out as a text message to that phone on the date and at the time you specify. The site detects your time zone so you don't have to include that, nor do you have to even register or look at any ads. (Recipients will be charged a regular text-messaging fee.) You'll need to be brief, as there's a 160-character limit on messages. |

WorldCat
WorldCat.org lets you search the collections of libraries in your community and thousands more around the world. You can search for popular books, music CDs and videos—all of the physical items you're used to getting from libraries. You can also discover many new kinds of digital content, such as downloadable audiobooks. And WorldCat results often include a direct link to the "Ask a Librarian" help feature of a library's website. |
