Library News: April 2024 - Encyclopedias & Dictionaries

Unlocking Library Resources: Introducing our New Reference Guide: Encyclopedias & Dictionaries
Reference sources are essential tools for academic study because they provide quick access to reliable information on a wide range of topics.

Here's why they're so handy:
1. Give an overview of a topic
2. Identify essential readings in the field
3. Clarify terms or concepts you aren't familiar with
4. Hints for keywords for further searches in the Library databases

Examples:
Basic & Clinical Pharmacology
Black's Medical Dictionary
Concise Handbook of Management
Encyclopedia of Nursing Research
Alternative Health in American History: An Encyclopedia from Acupuncture to Yoga

Find the Encyclopedia & Dictionaries Guide here.
