Draft:Outline of reference works

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to reference works:

A reference work is a work, such as a paper, book or periodical (or their electronic equivalents), to which one can refer for information. The information is intended to be found quickly when needed. Such works are usually referred to for particular pieces of information, rather than read beginning to end. The writing style used in these works is informative; the authors avoid opinions and the use of the first person, and emphasize facts.
