I'm always pleased to discover new sites that provide innovative learning resources. The Virtual LRC combines features of an online reference library and a meta search engine. This is definitely a site that students, instructors, and writers will want to keep available in their bookmarks or toolbars to facilitate ready information checking. Virtual LRC was created and is maintained by Dr. Michael Bell, a former library administrator. ____ JH (Via Helge Scherlund's eLearning News Blog.)
