It's hard to comprehend how difficult getting information used to be. Even if you were lucky enough to own the particular book that had the information, you had to put down everything you were doing to find the book and flip through it. Some information, such as how to pronounce a word, just wasn't available in a user-friendly format. What's more amazing today though is how many Internet users don't know what's available to them.

Merriam-Webster Online: A very useful site if you don't know what a word means but even better if you don't know how to pronounce a word -- you can listen to it being spoken [O]

LEO English-German dictionary: Great for making the right word choice if you're working on something in German and now with sound files for German pronunciation (did they get that idea from m-w.com?) [O]

Dayton Metro Library premium services: The library has subscriptions to many premium online services that we get to use for free, just by having a library card [O]

Ohio Public Library Information Network: Even more reference databases (Were you upset when Encyclopedia Britannica started charging? It's free here!) [O]
