Amazing Reference Resources

Q. Why do you have to love "reference" items?

1) Because they are often selected as "the best" information on a topic.


2) Because no one can check them out. They are used only in the library. That means they are there on the shelf for you...even if your paper is due tomorrow. (Not that you would ever be working on a paper at the last minute...
)

Here are some of our history reference resources you can use in locating a topic for your assignment.
