Reference Collection Development
The Reference and Information Services Librarians have primary responsibility for developing the Library's reference collection, which includes dictionaries, encyclopedias, almanacs, directories, handbooks, atlases, statistical compilations, biographies, and periodical indexes which answer many of the questions our researchers face.
The Library's reference materials come in book, microform and electronic format. When a user asks a question at the Reference and Information Desk, we often use this collection to provide an answer. If you have a research question, come on in and ask us. If you want to suggest a research tool which you think would be helpful in the collection, let us know.
