Where are the reference sources (encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc.)

Answer

Most of the library's print reference sources (like encyclopedias and handbooks) have been integrated into the circulating collection.  They can be found using the library catalog.  We also have a selection of online reference sources.  If you visit a subject guide, many of the guides will include information on finding reference sources in that discipline.

There is a small print collection of reference sources on the first floor, next to the open Course Reserves by the Circulation Desk.  These are mainly study guides and dictionaries in various languages including English.
