TARGET: Desk Reference

[Mary Jo Godwin <mjgodwin@ORYXPRESS.COM>]

Book titles often include words such as resource, handbook, sourcebook, etc.
that help to clarify the depth and scope of a book's contents. I'm trying to
determine exactly what the phrase, desk reference, implies.  I'm interested
in hearing from other librarians about their impressions and expectations
for books that are identified as  desk references.  TIA. Mary Jo
