eSwapNow - If you've got loads of old CDs, books or videos that you want to get rid of, you can see if someone wants to swap here. Simply sign-up to the service and put up the details of the items. If someone's interested in one of them you'll be informed by email, and once you've sent the item out you'll receive a credit that you can then use to request an item someone else has posted. Like eBay, this site has a feedback system, so you'll get an idea of whether those you're dealing with can be trusted or not. Not many people are signed up yet, so there aren't that many items available, but we like the idea.

The Book Trust 

The Children's Bookshop

BookMooch is an online community that lets you give away books you no longer need in exchange for books you do. Joining is free, and lets you select your country and whether you want to exchange books worldwide or just within your country. The only cost is the postage, and in order to keep receiving books, you need to give away at least one for every five you receive. You can also add feedback, a la eBay.

ManyBooks.net - This site has a huge range of free e-books, which are all formatted for the main types of handheld computers: Palm, PocketPC and Symbian. Each book has a handy extract included in its information screen, which is good for brief synopsis.

The Poetry Archive exists to help make poetry accessible, relevant and enjoyable to a wide audience. It came into being as a result of a meeting, in a recording studio, between Andrew Motion, soon after he became UK Poet Laureate in 1999, and the recording producer, Richard Carrington. They agreed about how enjoyable and illuminating it is to hear poets reading their work and about how regrettable it was that, even in the recent past, many important poets had not been properly recorded.

Turning Pages - The British Library has outdone itself with its newly-updated Turning The Pages initiative. The online project gives you access to rare books. Using Shockwave, you use your mouse to turn the pages, zoom in, listen to audio, or see a typed version of the text.

Wikipedia is the web encyclopaedia that anyone can edit. Any user can read, add, delete or edit pages, on any topic, as long as the content is factual. The work of a dedicated team of editors means that the 1.6 million articles - 600,000 in English and the others in 194 other language editions - are largely accurate and clear, and those that are nor are clearly indicated as such.
