What's a Reference Book?


Articles: If you're looking for journal articles, start by using one of the indexes listed. Enter some keywords to find out what's been published on your topic. Then use GetIt! Trent to link from the citations to the articles, when possible. See the tutorials on Finding Articles and Keyword Searching Techniques.

Books: To find general books in the library, use TOPCAT (the library catalogue). Find help using TOPCAT in our tutorials. Search other libraries using RACER.

Other Material: Under "Other Online Resources" find links to some of our more unique databases that might apply to your topic. These might include primary documents, images, statistics, e-books, or specialized encyclopedias.
