Preus Library has both print and online reference sources. For online reference sources, you can click the links in this guide or in the catalog and go directly to the material.
If you see a Call Number listed (example: PS3607.Y37 T73 2020), then the source exists as a physical copy. The print reference books are located near the Technology Help Desk on the main floor of the library, between the computer lab and the Writing Help Center.
This online source provides access to subject and language reference works from Oxford University Press. In addition to text, access is provided to maps and illustrations, timelines, web sites, and bibliographies.
