Reference works Reference works can be a useful starting point for a project.
Encyclopedias are particularly useful because they provide good summaries and useful references to other books and articles. Subject specific reference works are shelved in the Reference sections on the relevant subject floor. Periodicals You will need to use periodicals if you can't find the information you need in books. Most contain short articles on specific topics some of which may never be published in books. Use the information sources listed in Section 5 to find relevant articles.
