Getting started
Reference sources can help you to begin your research and guide you in your approach to a new topic. Encyclopedias and biographical dictionaries can help you to learn more about a topic or a person, and to place them in wider historical and cultural contexts. Reference sources include encyclopedias, biographical dictionaries, research handbooks, Web pages, and more. Browse reference materials in the Reference section, on the second floor of Chalmers near Helpline. You can also search for reference sources using the Advanced Search screen in CONSORT, by limiting the location to KEN Reference.
