Once you've selected a research topic that meets the requirements of the assignment, browse or skim through reference books to find background information and to get an overview of that topic. The Library has both print and electronic reference books. To use print reference books, you will have to visit the Library. Electronic reference books can be used online.
Useful resources for you to start your research are presented here. You can search three different reference databases right from this page.
The Britannica® Academic database delivers fast and easy access to high-quality, comprehensive information from the reputable Encyclopædia Britannica.
