The Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) named Social Explorer as an Outstanding Reference Source for 2010 this week.  (RUSA is a division of the American Library Association.)

The list is compiled by a committee of RUSA members who are readers’ advisory and reference experts. They review publications and online reference resources released in the previous calendar year and present their selections at the RUSA Book and Media Awards Reception at the ALA Midwinter Meeting.

Social Explorer is the only online-only research tool featured among this year’s awardees.  Click here to read more about the selection process and the other top resources.
