As libraries cut budgets, it is more important than ever that the dollars allocated to the reference collection be spent on the right materials—print and electronic—to serve patrons and support the integrity of even small institutions. Fortunately, there is a proven resource for finding those materials—one to which to which librarians have turned with confidence year after year.
Shannon Graff Hysell has been editor of Recommended Reference Books for Small and Medium-Sized Libraries and Media Centers for the past 14 years. Working with a five-member advisory board, she is also editor of American Reference Books Annual and ARBAonline.
