Encyclopedias
Although encyclopedias may have been a major source for research
in high school, in college you'll use sources that contain more

There are two types of encyclopedias--general and subject.
Subject encyclopedias contain entries focusing on one field of study.
At the Good Library encyclopedias are available in print or electronic format.
