Research Guides
A research guide is an online collection of resources and information, created and maintained by Maryland State Library Resource Center librarians.
The scope of each guide varies by topic, ranging from in-depth resources to an annotated list of links. While these guides are created primarily for library customers, they also serve to assist fellow Maryland state librarians who are looking for reputable resources on behalf of their customers.
