Hello,
I am a library student with a question for reference librarians.  My
reference class is evaluating different resources, and I am wondering what
your "Top 5" are - which general reference books you consider invaluable and
are most used by your reference staff.  Also, are there any that your
library purchases regularly but which are very rarely used?
Thank you so much in advance for your responses!
Kathy
