When beginning your research, use encyclopedias and dictionaries to get background information on your topic. The library offers these resources both physically and online through e-books and databases. In the Library Search on the homepage, type in a general topic (e.g. "dance") and "encyclopedia" or "dictionary".
Below are a few reference resources to get you get started:
