Library Research Guides

Some libraries have placed ascii text versions of library research guides on the Internet to make them more widely accessible. Moreover, many of these guides not only offer links to local library resources, but also to applicable Internet resources. Stephen Sloan's Virtual Pathfinder is an excellent example of how these guides can be automated even further. Try the following sites to see how libraries are using the Internet to increase access to information, regardless of source.
