Reference Sources

 |
Reference
sources can be useful for exploring a topic. Sources such as encyclopedias
and dictionaries can provide broad overviews, theories, and define terms
and concepts. Encyclopedias and dictionaries can be very general
(Encyclopedia Britannica), or very specific (The Encyclopedia of
Bioethics).
Other useful reference sources include almanacs, atlases, directories,
guidebooks, handbooks, and bibliographies. |
