Thanks Martha, this was really useful! I love your style. I will definitely check out these links. Check out zotero. I find it really useful for keeping pages I want to look at later rather than having 50 tabs open. ALso, you can use the saved page (links don’t work) without internet access. Kathryn
Zotero sounds like it might also be a back up plan – depending on the site. I’ll make sure to check it out! Thanks for coming out on just before a three day weekend! Also, a great idea for a link of the day email…
