Reference sources, such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, bibliographies, and handbooks provide you with specific information on a given topic or person and provide you with an overview of a subject.
These reference sources can be very helpful starting points in your research to help you find the important scholarly conversations on your research topic and subject, identify the prominent scholars in the field, and help you identify what and who is missing in the scholarly conversation and where your research fits into the current research landscape.
Reference sources can be online resources like the ones listed below, but we also have a number of print reference sources in the Library on the second and third floors, if you prefer hardcopies.
