Your Favorite Reference Book

The assignment for next Monday's practicum is to bring a favorite reference book and share it with the class. Maybe because I suggested that we downsize the reference collection at our last IS meeting, I have had several occasions to use print sources in the last few days. I showed a student the OED; I suggested someone use the print version of the GAAS Guide; I worked with a student on the chemistry of vitamin C using Van Nostrand's Scientific Encyclopedia; and I explained how to use RMA's Annual Statement Studies. If you have a reference title that you use and love and you'd like to share it with us, please post to the blog or join us at 10 a.m. in room 135.
