• Subject encyclopedia articles are signed by contributors who are experts on the topic.

• Many also contain bibliographies for further research.

• Reference books cannot be checked out from the library but may be photocopied.

• Use the LPC Library Catalog to find other encyclopedias by conducting a keyword or subject search.
