Wikipedia - it isn't the only reference source around ;-)

Need the definition of a word? A good encyclopedia style article on a topic to help you start your research? Information on current issues of the day? All that and much more is available in our online and print reference materials. For the print items you can search our catalog; for the online resource see our Reference Guide, or look through our databases A-Z.

Don't rely just on what you can run across via a Google search. Use our connection to the OED, the Oxford English Dictionary, for word study for example. Or use Gale Reference to find entries from sources like Dictionary of American History and West's Encyclopedia of American Law.
