General Reference Works, Resources and General Bibliographies

Collection  of general reference works (NASLG) on the first floor

On the first floor you will find a collection of general reference works. Below you will find a list, often containing references to electronic databases in that field.
Reference works must be consulted in the library and are therefore not for loan.
