Every so often here in the Library, we come across little gems of websites that we collect on the off-chance that someone will want to play with them.
The thought occurred today that maybe, just maybe, if we put them all in one place, they are there for everyone - staff and/or students to access. So using that theory - check out the links below. They range from search engines through to sites on all sorts of things.
If you come across any dead links, please let us know so that we can delete them - and if you know of any awesome ones that we haven't come across, please let us know that also. It is all about sharing after all.

*Edit: * A comment was made concerning the fact that I had not given any indication as to what the sites were about - and I had to admit the validity of the argument. So .... please find my revised post with apologies. I hope this is of better use.
