Marooned, but Resourceful

Abstract

Along with many librarians who pick up RSR, I turn to “Personal Choice” as the first article to read. It is always intriguing to learn others' choices and their reasons. Most of us probably never think that the question will be dropped into our own laps, so though we might disagree with others’ choices, we rarely think seriously of those we would make ourselves. Fortunately, James Rettig does give enough time for us to think about it, to try to come up with a different approach, to philosophize on a specific desert isle. “If you were stranded on a desert island and had to create a reference/information service with only ten sources, which ten would you choose?”
