General References and Apps

The number of reference tools out there is growing by the day. Here's a curated list of a few of our favorites. All of these resources that are either public domain, free with log-in, or super low-cost that we feel it's worth the minimal financial investment. We have no financial incentives or conflicts of interest with these companies. We just find them helpful and thought you might too. Is there an awesome new app or website we're missing? Let us know about it at the link at the bottom of the page.
