21st Century Services and Information Sources

Order Description

So many different types of reference sources–what do we need them all for? Isn’t it all online anyway?

Bibliographies and Indexes
Ready Reference
Biographical Sources
Dictionaries
Encyclopedias
Geographical sources

Should your library contain examples of all of these 6 different types? Would you keep one example of each in print, or have none in print, all online, or what?

In addition, your task is to produce a list of recommendations for what you think are the best available at your school level (K-6). Your sources should be both print and online.

Produce an annotated bibliography reviewing 2-3 examples of sources in the reference source category (2-3 for each category if you’ve got 2 or more). The bibliography concludes with a recommendation for the best one in your category(ies).
