Reference Sources

Asheesh Kamal-Official Tuesday, July 14, 2015
Characteristics of Reference Sources

 Non-Circulating: Reference books cannot be checked out of the library
Quick Facts: Reference books are not read straight through, like novels; you usually simply “refer” to them when you need quick, basic information
→LIS Cafe-Home
Overview: Reference books provide a quick introduction to your topic, a brief overview; these overviews are especially helpful when you begin researching a topic you don’t know much about

Bibliographies, Cross References & See-also References: Because discussions on topics in Reference Books are not in-depth, entries include suggestions to review related articles within the book itself (cross and see-also references) and citations to other related, in-depth sources (bibliographies)
→LIS Cafe-Home

Specific Arrangement: Reference books are organized in very specific ways, depending on the type of book. For example, chronologies are arranged by date, dictionaries are arranged in alphabetical order by word and encyclopedias are arranged in alphabetical order by subject.

Example and Explanations of Reference Sources:

Almanac
usually a one-volume work with statistics and a compilation of specific facts

Atlas
a book of maps and geographical information

Bibliography
a compilation of sources of information, provides 
literature on a specific subject or by a specific author

Chronology
lists the events described in order of the date on which they occurred

Concordance

Dictionary

→LIS Cafe-Home
Directory

Encyclopedia

Gazetteer

→LIS Cafe-Home
Guidebook

Handbook

Index
