About Quick Reference
Back in the days of yore the term "desk reference" was used for the important sources many people kept at hand on their real-world desktop--things like a dictionary, an almanac, or a style guide. The sources presented here are electronic versions of those tools and more. Some are provided through library subscriptions, while others are available to all users for free, and may include advertising.
