Template:Guide to information sources
A Guide to information sources (or a bibliographic guide, a literature guide, a guide to reference materials, "how to find out about", a subject gateway, etc.) is a kind of metabibliography. Ideally it is not just a listing og bibliographies, and reference works but more like a [textbook]] introducing users to the information sources in a given field (or in general).
