Why use reference resources? Good question! Reference works can give you the basic information that you might not know about a topic or subject area. Reference works can include dictionaries, encyclopedias, bibliographies, and wikis.
Reference resources are not used instead of articles but rather as the first steps of research. Think of them as the foundation that will support your thesis & whole paper.
