SAVE TIME!
Specialized encyclopedias (as well as dictionaries and handbooks) can be great places to start your research. Use them to find:
- Background information on a topic
- An overview of research on a topic
- Definitions of terminology
- Explanations of methods and theories
Most of the resources listed here are online but there are many others available only in print--many in the Reference Collections in Geisel and WongAvery Library. Ask a librarian for help in locating others.
