Best Sites 2009
Posted by: Admin

Most of the end-of-year "best" lists of Web sites seem to hover around the 100 mark. The PC magazine list has 100 entries. The Guardian also lists 100 essential Web sites.  Even Family Tree Magazine managed to come up with 101 Best Web Sites 2009 just for geneaolgists. By comparison, Time's 50 Best Websites 2009 is  relatively lean.

Getting at the best sites for reference often means sorting through apps, celebrity gossip, and shopping.  That's why a list like the MARS (Machine-Assisted Reference Section of ALA's Reference and User Services Association) Best Free Reference Web Sites 2009  is so useful.
