Paper resources may seem a little old-fashioned now, but some still prefer them ,and there is a lot of good stuff in there that just isn't available online. Elsewhere on this website we have frequently referenced and recommended the OSDE and Through other Eyes web-based resources, and we do so again here, but links to other useful sites can be found under the Links button to the side of the page.
