I was reading a recent issue of New Scientist last night, and ran across a
brief but interesting review of Oxford Reference Online. The author seems to
be of the opinion that Web resources such as this will hasten the end of
reference libraries. It ends with the line "You can almost hear the
librarians weep."    :-)

The review is available online at:
