About the Virtual Reference Desk

Criteria for choosing websites.
These pages are a collection of links to web-based, authoritative sources of reliable information. They have been used to answer a question received at the KYVL Reference Desk or support the information needs of Kentucky Virtual University students or Kentuckians.

Organization
Sources are organized under 17 major subject areas that are based on the Library of Congress Classification scheme. The blue column on the left side of the page will aid you in navigating through the resources we have gathered.
