The library provides online access to electronic versions of many reference books, including general resources such as Encyclopedia Brittanica and specific encyclopedias, almanacs, and dictionaries. You have the option of searching an entire collection of reference books using the general search options listed here, or you can search within specific reference books.
Note to off-campus users: when clicking a link to an online reference book, you may be prompted to log in using your NetID username and password (the same you use for email and Blackboard).
