Reference books typically contain information in a concise and authoritative manner. Encyclopedias and dictionaries are the two most common types you will encounter. Other types are almanacs, bibliographies, directories, handbooks, etc. Books in Tomlinson Library's Reference Collection cannot be checked out and must be used in the library.
