Ending the old year with some new beginnings

In this final issue of RSR for the year we offer our readers the first appearances of two columns new to the journal. These are the “Landmarks of Reference” and “Government Publications” columns. “Landmarks,” edited by Dr. Kathleen Heim of the University of Illinois faculty, will present review essays of major reference tools. The scope encompasses standard works which are essential to public services work; many of these are so heavily used as to be taken for granted by reference personnel. The first contribution is an appreciation of Who's Who in America.
