Ask Me a Question . . . I’ll Tell You the Answer

If you have a reference question, the Library’s “Ask a Librarian” service is here to help. It offers a Virtual Reference Shelf to help you begin your search. Here are links, among many others, to almanacs and “fast facts,” encyclopedias, libraries and statistics.

By clicking on “Almanacs and Fast Facts,” for example, you link to books online at bartleby.com (under the heading “Books, Periodicals and Publishing”), get a list of Academy Award and Grammy winners (under “Awards/Prizes”), even find out what that acronym you heard the other day stands for (under “Abbreviations”).

If you still can’t find the answer, you can send e-mail to a librarian. Please note, however, that correspondents are encouraged to use local and online resources. For those seeking further assistance from the Library of Congress, the staff will respond to their reference and information needs to the extent possible. Because the Library participates in a global network of librarians working electronically to answer questions, your online reference question may be submitted to this global network for reply.

Also note that the scope of the services does not include: compilation of extensive bibliographies, requests for information connected with contests, completion of school or work assignments, translations or research in heraldry or family history.
