Why use encyclopedias and dictionaries?

You use dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other reference works to:

  • get an overview of a new or complex topic
  • find the names of players in a given area
  • locate terms that you can use in your research
  • help narrow or expand your topic
  • locate a bibliography of sources to help you start your research
