The Science, Industry and Business Library of the New York Public Library has created research guides on a variety of topics. Although we may not own some of the reference materials mentioned, these are still extremely good resources to help initiate a search on a particular topic. Some of the topics covered include: acoustical engineering, business plans, green building, industry surveys, international trade, market research, patents and trademarks, and tsunamis.
A link has been added in the Blogroll on the right-hand side of the page to provide quick access to this very useful site.
