Reference Universe is a web-based research tool designed to ensure that students, researchers and library staff can discover the best resources available when beginning the research process.
Reference Universe provides a single search across more than 43,000 specialized subject encyclopedias and scholarly compendia. The database contains more than 26 million citations to both print and e-versions from all major and minor reference publishing houses.
This means you can search the full breadth of your library’s reference collection at a deeper level than the catalog provides, both saving time and maintaining the authoritative level of research that peer-reviewed reference works provide.
