Reference sources are invaluable. They provide the following types of information on virtually any topic:
- Reliable background information;
- Articles written by subject experts;
- Dates, timelines, events, people related to your topic;
- A list of further readings, normally found at the end of encyclopedia articles. Use these references as a springboard for further research.
Reference sources may be found in REF (main level) OR in the regular collection (ground and upper levels).
