Dictionaries, encyclopedias & more in use

It's true, we live in the age of Wikipedia, lol, but that's hardly the only place to turn to when you need background information on a subject; dates, names, places, objective definitions etc. As a matter of fact, many, if not most faculty, are none too keen on the use of Wikipedia. So, what to do?

Do what all good researchers do, refer to a good encyclopedia, dictionary etc. as needed. We do have many online nowadays, see our Reference guide. But there are many good print titles as well; here is a small sample of those that have been used just recently.

All come recommended by our friend pictured here ;-)

• American Presidential Campaigns and Elections
• Asian American Short Story Writers
• Great Women in Sports
• New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians
• Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History
• S&P's Industry Surveys
