"The American Library Association's Guide to Reference is an essential subscription database for reference librarians, researchers and other library users. The Guide to Reference, formerly Guide to Reference Books, has a long history in print as a core publication of librarianship in the United States. This new Guide is the first to be published electronically and the first to engage the Web as a medium for reference publishing and services.
The online Guide includes more than 16,000 trusted go-to sources and offers guidance in the form of introductory essays and annotations for entries. With its searchable, browsable, internally and externally linked database, the Guide facilitates the kinds of reference, teaching, collection development, and bibliographic work its predecessors have supported.
In it you can: Find over 16,000 essential print and web reference resources; Browse and search capabilities help you pinpoint the resources you need; Create customized reading and collection development lists; Establish a personal or institutional user profile to add notes, create lists and pathfinders; Discover List of Categories; Connect from Guide to Reference through WorldCat’s Find in a Library service
