Links
and Resources
It's great having the Internet
at your fingertips for all kinds of fact-finding. We have an extensive bookmark
collection of interesting and useful websites.
If you have a website you
love, send us a note with the link.
These are some handy websites:
The Government Electronic Directory Service:
I actually use this often.
You can look up any federal employee (from Agriculture Canada to Revenue
Canada) and get their phone number, mailing address and email coordinates. |
Google Images
No doubt you’ve been here before. If you need just the right photo
for your screen presentation or document, you can probably find it here.
Choose the “Advanced” search if you need to specify higher-quality
images or narrow your search. |
www.thesaurus.com
Find the perfect word to convey your meaning. The site is also linked
to dictionary.com, and references multiple dictionaries. |
Universal Currency Converter
If you’re heading to Algeria and you’re not sure how many
dinars you’ll need, go to the Universal Currency Converter. Handy. |
Country Reports
Have a client visiting from Uzbekistan and you’d like a quick overview
of the country? See this site to find out population, capital city, currency,
top industries, etc. |
The Reference Desk
Billed as “the single best source for facts,” you can find
breaking news, “this day in history”, gas prices, weather
data, word and trivia of the day links, among others. A very busy site,
but a great place to visit before heading out to a networking function. |
Internet Movie Database
Here’s where to go if you want to get the latest movie trailers,
find out the Best Picture of 1953 (From Here to Eternity) or the voice of Lord Farquaad in "Shrek" (John Lithgow) or who played Sam in “Casablanca” (Dooley Wilson). Fun stuff. |
The Meeting Planner from World Time Server
Let's see, 8AM in Saskatchewan means it's 4PM in Poland, right? This tool helps you get the times straight for your next conference call or videoconference. |
