web guerrilla reference


This started out on a disk I could use at any workstation in the LRC. It's become a piled-high, needs imploding digital warehouse of links that responds to specific reference requests, and includes numerous just-in-case-of-fire links. Kinda like every analog reference collection. And like every "real" reference collection, you have to learn and remember what's here in order to use it.
