[Publib] Top 5 reference materials

[Bruce Bumbalough]

Top 5 for me are as follows in no particular order:
 
Value Line and Morningstar
World Almanac, Texas Almanac.
American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language
Consumer Reports
World Book
 
Ok so that is 7.   We also rely on the TexShare databases and Google a great deal.

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
