Reference books are an excellent starting place for research. A specialized reference book can

• provide background information to help you understand the scope
• help you discover specialized terminology related to your topic
• assist in narrowing the focus of your topic

These databases provide access to specialized dictionaries and encyclopedias in many fields.

Search the library catalog to find books in the library and ebook records that link to the ebook full text.

If you know the title or author of the book, you can search that way, or you can search by entering keywords related to your topic.
