Guide to Reference is a selective guide to the best reference sources, organized by academic discipline.
An editorial team of reference librarians and subject experts have selected and annotated some 16,000 entries, both print and web-based, free and subscription. Users in libraries subscribing to Guide to Reference can set up a profile to create and save lists and notes to use in their reference and research work. This subscription database, published by the American Library Association, is updated on an ongoing basis.
