Cool Web Resources

Authors: Is your book in libraries?
www.WorldCat.org offers a free search tool that lets you find all of the libraries where your book is available. This site won’t help you grow your personal sales. But, it’s a good way to see what kind of marketing exposure you’re getting through libraries.

Speakers: Find cheap flights faster!
www.SideStep.com searches all of the travel websites for the best deals, then lets you book directly with the carrier. This website saves me time over Orbitz, Expedia, and Travelocity. I like how SideStep gives you up-front pricing, then lets you narrow your search by departure times…very helpful!
