Fast Facts

As the title implies, this site provides links to all kinds of information, much of it statistical. A subject guide near the top provides jump links to collections of links to sites containing information about each subject. If nothing in that collection helps, additional links at the bottom of the page will take you to other sources of information.

Internet Reference Library

Here you'll find links to a variety of reference sources. They are divided into four categories: handy reference material, directories, travel and delivery, and guides to local resources. Links to additional pages for specific academic disciplines are available down the left side of the page

Martindale's "The Reference Desk"

Scroll, scroll, scroll .... You'll need to scroll or use the Page Down key a lot to reach the end of this page. It has links to resources in most categories you can think of and some you hadn't even considered.

Purdue University Libraries -- Quick Reference

Links from this site, which does not have a search engine, include government documents, maps, science data, information technology and other reference sources.

Refdesk

Although it's almost as cluttered as my office, this site provides access to all kinds of reference resources. Some are available as search boxes on this page. Others are accessible through links.
