FTS: Mirrors & Windows: Representation in Children's Literature: Reference Works

Why Use Reference Works?

Specialized reference works such as encyclopedias provide overviews and can give you a good sense of what's out there and what different approaches are being taken to a given topic. Most of our reference sources are located in the Reference Collection on the main floor of the library. Some are available online.

Recommended Reference Works
