    Default Short on money? Order materials through your library.

    Hi guys,

    I know I have mentioned this a few times in the past but if you do not have the money to purchase books, dvds, or journals go to your local library and request an interlibrary loan.

    Go to http://www.worldcat.org/ and search for the topic of your choice. Enter your zip code and WorldCat will tell you whether or not the item is in a library near you. If the item is not, contact your local library and have them order it for you. Simple.

    My library allows 5 interlibrary loans at a time (I always order dvds and videos from Human Kinetics and Healthy Learning) and I make the request online through their website. They call me when they arrive and I get to keep the items for a couple of weeks. Couldn't be easier.

    Awesome link Christina. I never knew such a resource existed. Amazing times we live in. Somehow this would be a good "when I was a boy" story.

    [Insert fanciful imagination harp music here] "When I was a boy, we had to walk 10 miles in the snow to get to the library, and they only had three books -- they had the B, R, and Q volumes of the 1953 Encyclopedia Britannica and by gosh we made do..."

    And don't forget that you had to walk uphill both ways, Brian.

    Right, and then someone will point out "but Brian, you were born in Florida and lived there all your life, and they don't have hills or snow there".

    "OK, maybe it wasn't snow it was sand, and maybe it wasn't a hill it was a sand dune on the beach, but dag-nabbit it was torture."
