ALA Guide to Reference trial
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.
This trial runs until May 25, 2009.
