ALMANAC
Almanacs are not usually
used for extensive research,
but are good for looking up
specific facts, statistics,
tables and lists about people,
places, events, countries,
organizations, zip codes, and
popular culture such as
sports and entertainment.
Generally, almanacs cover a
broad period of time, while
Yearbooks, which contain
similar information, only
cover a given year.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
Bibliographies compile
comprehensive lists of
resources that share one
or more common
attributes about a
particular subject,
person, geographical
area, etc. Some
bibliographies also
briefly describe the
resources that are
listed.
DICTIONARY
Standard dictionaries give an
alphabetical list of words
and their definitions, but
there are several useful
variations also classified as
dictionaries. There are also
dialect and slang
dictionaries, dictionaries of
abbreviations and acronyms,
dictionaries of quotations,
and picture dictionaries.
Dictionaries can be
unabridged (general) or can
be thematically organized in
some way.
THESAURUS
In general usage, a
thesaurus is a
reference work that
lists words grouped
together according to
similarity of
meaning, in contrast
to a dictionary, which
provides definitions
for words, and
generally lists them
in alphabetical order.
ENCYCLOPEDIAS
Encyclopedias contain full
coverage of information
about an area of knowledge.
They can be general or can
cover a specific subject and
contain alphabetically
organized entries with
varying detail. These are
great starting points for fact-
finding, getting background
topic information, learning
of key events and
individuals, or starting a
research project. Below is a
major general encyclopedia.
ATLAS & MAPS
Atlases contain an
organized group of
pictorials or illustrated
political, cultural,
physical, road, and/or
thematic maps.
Atlases may be
organized around a
specific subject,
theme, or geographic
area.
BIOGRAPHICAL RESOURCES
Biographies contain
information about people,
both living and deceased -
they can contain brief
summaries of data about
individuals, contain lists of
citations of resources about a
person, or be full length
books detailing the life of
one particular person.
Biographies may cover
general important figures, or
may be organized
thematically/geographically,
etc.
DIRECTORIES
Directories contain an
organized list of people
and/or organizations,
and help one to find
information such as
addresses, phone
numbers, and email
addresses, etc. for the
organizations or people
included within the
scope of that directory.
HANDBOOKS
A handbook contains facts
about a specific subject or
instructions that can be used
to accomplish something. A
handbook can come in several
forms, such as a manual for
completing tasks, or a
guidebook providing
information about a subject,
region, etc. (such as a travel
guidebook). Handbooks are
often designed for quick
consultation and easy
portability.
CHRONOLOGIES/TIMELINES
Chronologies and
timelines summarize the
advancement of an event
or happening by
supplying brief
milestones in the
progression of the event.
The summaries will be
presented day-by-day,
year-by-year, or by
another chronological
breakdown.
INDEX
Indexes are
compilations on
information, generally
arranged either
alphabetically or
numerically, that
indicate the location
of related information
either within or
outside of the same
resource.
