Reference sources like encyclopedias and dictionaries
provide valuable background information and definitions for a
topic or concepts within a topic. They can also help you to
narrow a topic to a manageable level.
The Schurz Library Reference room is full of reference
sources on fascinating topics. The easiest way to find a
reference source is to
ask a
librarian. You can also browse through the
Subject Guides
available on the
Reference & Research page. Some of the sources mentioned
there are available online. In addition, we have some online
reference sources available on the
Reference & Research
page. Click on the pull-down menu that says, "To look for
Reference Sources."
