Rob Thomson's Magnificent seven websites

Rob works as the senior library technician at the BlueScope Steel Library at Port Kembla and was responsible for Follows and Leeds at neXt 2005 - amongst other things!

At work (and at home) these are seven of the most helpful websites I like to access:

1. As part of my job role I get to order in a lot of books. To check for the cheapest price I go to:

New and used books - Find the lowest price - Compare 131 bookstores, 60 000 sellers, in a click. http://www.fetchbook.info/

2. We all need help to do our jobs better and so I subscribe to:

http://www.freepint.com/

3. When the occasion arises that we need to find a second-hand book I go to:

http://www.alibris.com/ (although http://www.bookfinder.com/ is good too)

4. I'm kind of addicted to fonts. I don't know why. I just am. But to deal with my addiction I go to:

http://dafont.com/en/

5. I also like a bit of music in my life and when I can I like to play music while I work from:

http://www.abc.net.au/dig/

6. I like to see what's coming next, so I check out sites like:

http://www.trendwatching.com/

7. And because I really do play the bass drum in the only Irish pipe band in NSW:

http://www.nswirishpipeband.com
(That's my legs you can see emerging from the bottom of the bass drum!)
