Thanks to my friend Memo for calling my attention to this simple tool that will make many of my reference patrons a little happier!

Printwhatyoulike.com allows you to eliminate sidebars, advertising, and anything else you don’t want from a web page before sending it to the printer. It also allows you to decrease (or increase) text size and widen columns of text. This helps save paper, obviously, but it will probably be equally as exciting to patrons for the $.07 they save for every page of “junk” they don’t have to print.

While I’m sure I’ll still be helping people figure out how to print what they want, at least with printwhatyoulike.com I will have a way to do it.
