Reference Material

In this section you will find resources to help you spell a word, translate a phrase, find the time in another part of the world, look for grant funding, find a quotation to jazz up an article you are writing or look at a map of mountain ranges in Peru! These sources could assist you with your research, writing or publishing and are the standard kinds of tools every library provides for their users. Each one of them has been tested and evaluated and we hope you find them useful.

We are always checking these links, adding new ones and trying to improve these resources so when you discover good sites please pass them along by writing to us at library[at]mtnforum[dot]org so we can continue to grow.
