Encyclopedias are useful for providing overviews and background information, as well as bibliographies that will assist you in locating additional resources on your research topics. Though their article entries are peer reviewed and reliable, they serve only as springboards for further research. They are never self-sufficient sources.

Tip: You can use Ethnic NewsWatch to locate articles written from different ethnic perspectives.
