Why Use Reference Sources?

Reference sources can provide background on your area of study, help you focus your topic, and serve as a springboard to other research.  

In our collection you'll find print and electronic:

  • dictionaries
  • general, discipline, and topic-specific encyclopedias
  • almanacs
  • bibliographies

Check with your instructor to verify which reference sources may be cited in your project and which should be used for background research only.
