InstapaperCan't find that site you ran across last week? Instapaper allows you to save web pages so you can read them later - from your home computer, your work computer, or even your Smartphone. If you take organization to the OCD level like me - you can even sort the pages into folders. The best thing about it, is it allows you to view articles in plain text. It will include the pertinent pictures - but none of those annoying ads, flashing graphics etc. Here is a link to a video that will explain how it works.

WorldCatSearch the libraries of the world. Most items can be ordered via your local public library.

Google SearchEveryone "googles" .... right? Well, be sure to use the advanced search to improve your results. Don't let the word "advanced" make you fearful. It actually makes your search easier. Another tip: When searching for a phrase, be sure to use quotes. If you type in "French Fashion Dolls" you are telling Google to bring you only results with those three words in that exact order. It is VERY helpful!
