We, at the Z. Smith Reynolds Library, realize that there are many good websites out there that can be helpful for your research. We also realize that there are a number that are not helpful or are confusing. In an effort to find the best websites, we’ve started a collection on del.icio.us. Whenever possible we annotate each site and tag it to let you how how the site is useful. For example, we might tag a tax site with “business,” “accounting,” and “government.”
If you want to see what new sites we’re finding, be sure to check in with this blog. We’ll send the new sites to it every day, complete with annotations and tags, so you can see what we’re seeing!
