About Reference Resources

Reference resources are tools crammed with information, designed to be used quickly for locating facts, dates, persons, places, events, etc. Common examples of reference resources are dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, almanacs, indexes, atlases and directories. These resources are located in the reference section of the library. Generally, the public can only use reference resources inside the library as they are not available for check out.
