atw: Re: {ANN] Free three-month subscription to the Macquarie Dictionary Online

Hi Geoffrey,

You can also get access to the dictionary for free with a National Library
of Australia library card - available to all Australian citizens.  From
their website:


"Macquarie University: This resorce contains a blend of Australian and
international reference works: encyclopedias; dictionaries; and atlases.
It also includes articles; images; links; and news items. Major reference
works included on this site are: Macquarie Dictionary, Macquarie Online
Student Dictionary, Macquarie Dictionary of Australian Quotations, The
Macquarie Thesaurus."

I only received my card in the mail yesterday so I haven't checked it all
out yet.

Cheers,

Geoff
