Only the Very Best



The internet is huuuuuuge--everyone knows that. But did you know how huge? According to this infographic, as of December 2010, there are 255 million websites, and 21.4 million from 2010 alone. So, how do you sift through millions of sites to find only the very best of what the web has to offer? You turn to a librarian, of course. Fact: librarians know pretty much everything. As proof, check out what the intrepid staff at the New York Public Library put together for your browsing pleasure. Just plan to spend hours, days maybe, clicking through everything. And remember: we have our own information gurus on standby at the reference desk, if you don't have hours (or days) to find what you're looking for.
