Today in Library school we were rocking reference. Something I learned today was that all subject areas, all topics rely on similar structure for the organizing for organizing data. If you can take a reference question and decide where the information lies, be it a dictionary, almanac, statistical reference, etc. Even if the information is online, the framework is inherently built into the system and you can basically find anything you need. What is interesting about this is how I can now narrow down a search online by thinking in terms of print resources. Strange but cool.
