Why Use Reference Resources?

Bush Library provides you access to many encyclopedias and dictionaries.
By using with these resources you will:

  • Obtain background information on your topic (e.g., person, event, theory, terminology, etc.)
  • Identify additional search terms to use when searching for book and article resources, and
  • Find citations to other works (e.g., books, articles) providing longer, more detailed coverage of the topic.
