Many academic libraries provide a range of scholarly guides to different disciplines. The librarians at the Dalhousie University Libraries have created this magical elixir of guides to subjects as diverse as medicine, civil engineering, writing, and computer science. Each guide contains a set of five or six sections that include Reference, Selected Books, Key Databases, Journals, and Recommended Websites. Some of the more specialized disciplines (such as medicine and law) have recommended resources designed for each step in the formal education process. All told, there are over 75 guides here that provide a much-needed first step in the research process to students, academics, and the generally curious. Visitors with expertise can also offer suggestions for resources they feel should be added to these thorough guides. [KMG]
