****************************************************************
1) Your Personal Public Library Online
What should a library on the Internet would look like? Take a
look at the Internet Public Library(IPL).
IPL is the first public library created for the Internet community and it's literally your personal online library. Your
experience with this site will be different depending on your needs. Research and explore topics or find booklists for
childrens and teens. It's all in there.
You can browse by Subject Collections (Art & Humanities, Business, Health, etc), and Ready Reference (dictionaries,
almanacs, encylopedias). Or, visit specialty sections like "The
Reading Room", "KidSpace", "TeenSpace" and more.
The IPL gives you unlimited research resources at your finger tips.

2) Tucows - More than just downloads
One of our favorite download sites, Tucows, has stepped up it's
service by offering more than just downloads. Tucows now offers
great articles and information perfect for researching and
evaluating software.

3) askSam Tip: Deleting Duplicate Documents
Did you know that askSam can automatically locate and delete
duplicate documents?
To find and delete duplicate documents...
Choose DOCUMENT -> DELETE OTHER -> DELETE DUPLICATES.
Select the fields for askSam to use to locate duplicates. The more fields you use the more accurate your results. For example,
if you choose FIRST-NAME[, LAST-NAME[, and PHONE[ - askSam only
returns documents where the content of all three fields match.
Choose your view option. You can choose to view the duplicate
results in the search results window, where you can browse the
duplicates, cut and paste between duplicates and manually delete
duplicate documents. Or, simply have askSam automatically remove
all duplicates for you.
