Reference works, such as encyclopedias and dictionaries, are a great place to start to narrow or focus your topic or area of interest. These sources can also point you to other useful resources, so make sure to look closely at the citations and bibliographies. Below is a list of available online reference works; others will also be available in the library.
Use these online databases to search for articles pertaining to your topic. These can be accessed from both on and off campus.
