Reference resources are publications to which one can quickly refer for factual information such as overviews, critiques, definitions, and/or timelines. Reference resources are usually referred to for particular pieces of information rather than read from beginning to end. Often an article or section of a reference resource is all that is required to meet one's information need.
Reference resources maybe found in both the library print reference collection and the online library databases.
Please note: the library databases are available only to Nerinx Hall students, faculty, and staff. The articles are password protected. Passwords can be found at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lto4wUs5JnmpWCtMifRpGIWclqBDqEP8hvpME4Ayyjo/edit#gid=0, google sheet available to those with nerinxhs.org gmail accounts.
