Research Guides

Welcome to LibGuides!  
The librarians of the Berkeley Public Library create research guides on topics of interest to library users, pulling together the best print resources and websites for each.  Here are the guides we've created so far; we plan to make a lot more and welcome your suggestions of topics you would find interesting, useful, or just fun.

    Reference Department

    Need help? The Reference Desk staff answer questions on every topic (except Art and Music and Childrens' questions) and often assist with more complex research. We answer questions in person, by phone, and via email using a variety of information sources, including websites, our non-circulating collection of books, business periodicals, and local history resources.
