For many years my dream job was to be a librarian and I’ve had several work placements in different types of libraries. I suppose it’s being around people, helping others, and of course, working with various media, most commonly, books. That leads me on to the website of the day called Librarian Chick, an ambitious wiki with a growing collecting of links leading to free online resource websites for educational purposes.

The bulk of the site is the aforementioned links but there are draws that make this resource hub stand out. Firstly, the links are listed in categories that are easy to distinguish - most of us know if we’re interested in learning more about technology or poetry, for example. Secondly, the information is short and to the point and all links are regularly checked to make sure they’re still up and running. The biggest draw though, at least for me, is that all the resources are hand picked so you can be sure each has been looked at and is worth visiting. As gotothatsite.co.uk is based along the same principle it’s no wonder the personal touch appeals to me.

Another feature that is worth mentioning is the Free search for audio, physical and electronic books across the internet. It’s a case of typing in a title, subject, theme or phrase and the search will do the rest. It does throw out some ambiguous results, but overall I’ve found it to be quite useful - especially when finding classic literature and, of course, study-based texts.

If you like reading recreationally or need help with your studies then Librarian Chick is a good place to start as a central location to get where you want to be on the net.
