Full free access to some great Australian content

Sometime the best things in life are free. When it comes to research the internet is pure gold. Some recent additions to our weblinks have been products from the National Library of Australia. I'm honestly suprised that more people do not know about these great tools.

http://newspapers.nla.gov.au - Full text Australian Newspapers. Historic Australian Newspapers, 1803 to 1954
http://trove.nla.gov.au- As the tag goes, one search... a wealth of information. I particularly love the map search.

In other news if you have a maths problem you need solved, check out http://www.wolframalpha.com I think I would have passed a lot more maths exams if I could have taken this thing with me.
