Hi There,
Another wonderful link to online information......

"LLRX.com is a unique, free, independent webzine on legal research, resources, applications, and technology for librarians and legal professionals since 1996" - As quoted by its author, Sabrina I. Pacifici.

If you are into finding information sources in the legal area, as well as some other areas, this might be a good place to sign up for its listserv announcing what new information has been added.

Internet Library for Librarians

Good Afternoon!

I found an interesting online library for librarians. It's entitled:
"Internet Library for Librarians: A portal designed for Librarians to locate internet resources related to their profession".

What I found useful in conducting reference services this morning was utilizing their link to Book Awards. You will find important information on the Nobel Prize, the Pulitzer Prize, etc.
