About background information sources

Background sources such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, and bibliographies can be a great starting point for research. They can help you to become more familiar with the vocabulary/terminology surrounding your topic, to gain a better understanding of the basics, and may provide listings of further literature to get you started.

Suggested background information sources

These annotated bibliographies can provide a great starting point for diving into the literature on a topic, including general background sources, books, journals and other publications.
