There are thousands of tools at our disposal which makes it nearly impossible to choose which ones we like best. Here is a short list of the items we work with on a regular basis.

Le grand dictionnaire terminologique


TERMIUM

Pencil, pen, and notepad (because no matter what, they never go out of style)

The Chicago Manual of Style (it helps to have an authority present when you simply can't decide whether it's a or an)

Various online newspapers such as The New York Times, The Gazette, Corriere della Sera, Periodista Digital, etc. This is a great way to pick up local colour and flavour.

Library membership cards (still one of the best and cheapest places to get access to thousands and thousands of reference works.)
