A Powerful Springboard to the Net ARCHIVE | SEPTEMBER 29, 1998 Here's a handy dandy, all-purpose reference site to bookmark. Research-It! is a one-stop springboard to a number of Internet resources. Categories covered are language, library, geographical, financial, shipping and the Internet. The language section includes links to dictionaries, a thesaurus and language translators. It also has access to the anagram server and acronym database. Library functions allow you to search for biographies of people, words in the Bible, and English language quotations. Geographic tools enable you to find maps and telephone numbers and browse the 1997 CIA fact book. A currency converter, stock quotes and ticker symbols can be found in the financial section. Zip codes and Federal Express and UPS package tracking are among the shipping tools. Zero in on Internet discussion groups through Liszt, the mailing list directory. http://www.thirdage.com/news/archive/ALT01980929-01.html
