What I Use...

Every librarian has there own pathway and method to their madness. Certain websites, services, and databases are a common crutch to a reference librarian. Here are the most used web tools and sources on my computer.

Zotero - reference retrieval
Google Book Search - for books that we do not have
Netlibrary eBooks - to expand the search
Google - still the steady and trusty engine that could.
EBSCO Visual Search - I don't like their new design. Too much clicking
Jing Project - Screen capture
Flickr - Easy as pie photo archive source
Google Reader - blog feed reader
Proquest Dissertation - When I have run dry on other databases, this one always comes through.
EBSCO MasterFile Premier - Much more versatile then you might think.
Gale Literature Resource Center - What would literary criticism papers be without it.
EBSCO Business Source Complete - Our school is obsessed with leadership. This is a go-to db.
TDNet Journal Finder - Have citation. Will travel.

Wish list - JSTOR, BioOne, WileyInterscience
