What is a reference tool?
- A reference tool is a resource that
is used to uncover a specific fact or piece of information.
Reference tools are generally not intended to be read
sequentially or cover-to-cover.
- Reference tools contain
specific facts, definitions, overviews, background
information and citations to other
relevant resources.
- Reference tools are helpful
in narrowing a topic.
- Reference tools provide
definitions of concepts.
- Reference tools
include encylopedias, dictionaries,
biographies, bibliographies, handbooks, atlases, maps, and
thesauri.
- Reference tools are a great place to
start research!
- Reference books in Blackwell Library
are located on the main floor and have call numbers that
start with the letters REF.
