Reference Resources We
pick the 'best of the web.'
So many web sites. So much information.
How do you begin to find what you really need? These are the web sites our
librarians use to find answers to many of the 350,000 questions they're asked
each year. Think of these pages as the 'a librarian's best of the web'
by subject area. You'll also find our in-depth guide to
federal information on the web (including
downloadable tax forms from the I.R.S.) and Ask Us (get your questions answered
by email).
