Why Use Reference Books?

When starting to do research on a new topic using reference books can provide a short overview and may include:

  • Terms or vocabulary used by people who study or write about your topic, and their definitions
  • Important researchers and research centers in the field
  • Dates of key events

The library has both print and digital reference books. Print reference books are on the main level (3rd) of the library.
