Librarian in Black Blog – Sarah Houghton

RUSA has released its list of Best Free Reference Web Sites 2009. This is the 11th annual list (see the previous years’ lists here).   My favorite two sites this year are:

• ePodunk: profiles of cities and counties across the U.S., including data on airports, cemeteries, museums, city and county statistics, and links to local government sites, local media, community organizations, weather info, library info (!), and local trivia.
• Lexicool: directory of 6,000+ free online bilingual and multilingual dictionaries and glossaries

For other awesome eReference websites, don’t forget to check out the Librarians’ Internet Index (not kept up as much as it used to be, but still current enough to be of use) and this 2004 “Beyond Google” article from PC World (amazingly still useful).
