Business Communication

Reference Books

Whether you are seeking to look up a quick fact, need to get an overview of a business topic to familiarize yourself before starting a paper, need to find a topic summary to help review for exams, or simply want to inform yourself by reading a brief article to read while relaxing in the library, Reference books are the place to start.

Reference books are usually collections of review articles, summary definitions, quick facts, and other quick information by reliable experts. They are the best way to look up facts and explanations. These are the resources Wikipedia is modeled after! But unlike Wikipedia, reference books are written by experts and edited for reliability and good writing before they can be published for you to read.

Reference books are located on the first floor, past the Reference desk. They cannot be taken out of the library, which guarantees they are available for you to use.
