University Libraries/Reference Tools

Many times it can be hard to update the reference section of our libraries.  Reference materials are expensive, and change relatively quickly, depending on what the source.  Be that as it may, it is imperative for the young adults of LKSD to have access to a quality reference section through their libraries.  This page aims to bring reference tools to upper level students who are doing research, and need help with creating citations, upper level dictionaries, statistical information, quotations, book reviews, e-books, biographical data, geographic information, climate information, government information, scholarly societies and more...  These pages are all part of  major university library collections and will provide a doorway to a vast number of free information resources.  Even better, these  resources are all able to be updated instantaniously due to their being electronic resouces.  Please feel free to browse around and see if you find anything useful.  Please also do not hesitate to contact LAFF and reccomend any universities whose libraries contain quality web-resource centers.
