Peter's Digital Reference Shelf- March 2001

[Lois Kiehl]

The March 2001 edition of Peter's Digital Reference Shelf is now
available on the Gale Group website. This month Peter gives an in-depth
illustrated review of the awesome _Librarian's Index to the Internet_, and
the not so _Awesome Library_. 

These 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:
