Subject: Peter's Digital Reference Shelf- December 2001

The December 2001 edition of Peter's Digital Reference Shelf is now
available on the Gale Group website. This month Peter reviews
1) _Xrefer.com_ (rave reviews for a free collection which aggregates and
integrates 50 of the best British ready reference publications)

2) _The Top 10 of Everything_ (laments a disappointing sampler which
fails to show any of the signature visualization mastery of the publisher,
Dorling-Kindersley)

These in-depth reviews are illustrated with dozens of screenshots and
provide a multi-linked virtual walk-through of the databases. They are
written by Peter Jacso, the 1998 recipient of the Louis Shores - Oryx
Press Award of the Reference and User Services Association for his
discerning database reviews. His column is available free of charge to all
users at:
