Reference in print

The Reference collections include (general and subject specific) dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, yearbooks, glossaries, guides, statistics, bibliographies and atlases.

Reference titles can be located using our catalogue. The prefix REF before the call number of a book shows that it is held in the Reference collection.

E.g.
The Oxford English dictionary REF 423 O98

The books in the Reference collection are not for loan. They can only be used within the Library.
