Abstract: Intended as an example for other college libraries, this collection of 38 pathfinders and bibliographies was developed by the reference staff of the Calvin Coolidge Library at Castleton State College, Vermont. Designed to present the types of literature available in particular subject fields and those works readily available in the Coolidge Library, typical pathfinders include a cover page explaining the use of the card catalog and periodicals, and sections on research guides and bibliographies; dictionaries, encyclopedias, and handbooks; and indexes and abstracts. Each entry provides the author, title, call number, and a brief description of the reference tool. The pathfinders are as follows: (1) American History; (2) Art and Architecture; (3) Biology; (4) Business; (5) Business and Industry; (6) Careers; (7) Census Materials; (8) Chemistry; (9) Classical Literature; (10) Computer Science; (11) Criminal Justice; (12) Drunk Driving and the Drinking Age; (13) Economics; (14) Education; (15) English and American Literature; (16) English Composition; (17) European History; (18) French and Spanish Language and Literature; (19) Geography; (20) Geology; (21) Government Documents; (22) Indexes; (23) Investing in U.S. Stocks; (24) Law; (25) Marketing; (26) Mathematics; (27) Medical Aspects of Drug Abuse; (28) Mass Communications; (29) Nuclear Weapons and Disarmament; (30) Nursing; (31) Physical Education; (32) Political Science; (33) Psychology; (34) Research Papers; (35) Social Work; (36) Sociology; (37) Theater; and (38) World Literature.
