Welcome to the BC Virtual Reference Desk. Let us point you to some of the best sites the Web has to offer.

The BC Virtual Reference Desk (VRD) is designed to provide quick access to a virtual library of Web sites. While the VRD is relatively small compared to larger subject directories like Yahoo!, each site listed has been reviewed by librarians to ensure that the information provided is clear and reliable. Furthermore, each site included is accompanied by a short review. The BC Virtual Reference Desk is best used to find one or a few Web sites introducing a topic. The VRD should point you in the right direction without producing a long list of Web sites to sort through and evaluate. Do you have questions about books, loans or holds? You are not in your library’s Web site. Look for your public library on the VRD's list of BC public libraries. OutLook Online is an Internet catalogue of BC public and academic libraries. |
