Encyclopedias & Helpful Databases for Background information and Topic Overviews

These sources can be a starting point to learn about your topic. Subject encyclopedias are very helpful to narrow down your topics and to find keywords to make your searches more productive. While these sources are great to learn more about your topic, many instructors will not allow you to use tertiary sources in a research paper.  Be sure to always follow your instructor's requirements.
