Hi Michael, I like using the databases, both MeL subscriptions and our library subscriptions. If I can't find what I need, then zi contact my colleagues including those at university libraries. Librarians are very helpful. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions. Good luck in your career!

Hello!
I'm a novice library associate learning the ropes of reference work. My library is in a small, semi-rural area. My question is this: What reference (re)sources have been most important/useful to you? I want to familiarize myself with as many as I can, but I'd like to start with the ones that, in your experience, are the most important to know.
Thanks!
