Reference Tools
Refdesk – In a library, if you don’t know where to look for a reference book, you go to the Reference Librarian. On the Internet, if you don’t know where to look for answers, you go to Refdesk.com. At first glance, the sheer amount of useful links on the Refdesk home page can be overwhelming. But it’s really quite well organized and useful.
