In most academic libraries you will find two types
of encyclopedia: general and subject. General encyclopedias, such as Encyclopedia
Britannica and World Book Encyclopedia, include information on all areas of
knowledge, and are good for overviews of a topic, or as starting points when
little is known about a topic. Subject encyclopedias exist for most fields,
and include titles such as International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences,
Encyclopedia of Bioethics, The Encyclopedia of Jazz, and Black Women in America:
an historical encyclopedia. |
