Friends:

I'm curious. If there was one professional reference book, journal
article or tool that you would like to carry around with you all the
time to refer to, what would that book, article or tool be? Assume
weight is no problem for the moment.

For example, would many of you might like to have a copy of Healthy
People 2010 tucked under your arm? Well, maybe not the whole thing, but
selected chapters (and the chapters might change depending on the work
you were doing that week). Physicians refer to drug pharmacopeias
regularly. What do professionals such as yourselves refer to?

I realize there are many of you out there but wondered if some reference
materials were so critical to what you do each day that you must have
constant access to them.

If those reference tools were available in electronic format would their
being "weightless" make your lives easier by making access to critical
information easier?
