• Reference Books Online

    Often, subject encyclopedias and handbooks, but not general ones, may be used as sources
for research. Always ask your instructor before citing subject encyclopedia articles. When using
an encyclopedia or handbook, always check the index for your subject. The subject is often
broken down into subcategories, or it is found under different terms than those you are using. 
The index is usually found in the last volume.

    When using encyclopedias or journals, consider using "Works Cited" entries that were used to
write the articles. Bibliographies are often found after an article (journals and books), in the last
volume, or in a separate volume of reference books.

• Print and Online Books

  WorldCat, and use RichLyn Library's Interlibrary Loan Service (see below).

  chapter or taken from a bibliography,  use RichLyn Library's Interlibrary Loan Service
  (see below).

• Journals Online
  
  After having used the OPAC to find books from the general stacks and Reference,
  begin looking in journals for articles. The library subscribes to several databases
  through EbscoHost, Gale/Thomson-InfoTrac, and eLibrary (see below). Also there
  are a number of free, online, Web databases (see below: Find Articles
  (Look Smart), High Beam, High Wire Press, and Ingenta Connect).
  
  Most likely you will begin by looking for full text articles. However, as you search
  for complete or more extensive materials on your topic, you will want to consider
  cited (the bibliographic information only) or abstracted (a summary of the article)
  articles. If the library does not have the journal article  you want, use RichLyn
  Library's Interlibrary Loan Service (see below).
