Reference sources are available in general or subject specific contexts and in print or online formats.
Examples:
Reference materials are good starting points for research projects because they can provide:
Find biographies of people, searching by occupation, nationality, ethnicity, birth and death date, and of course by name.
Search hundreds of reference sources - dictionaries, bilingual dictionaries, thesauri, encyclopedias, quotations and atlases - for topic overviews and links to our other online resources. Includes mind map/concept map search feature.
