Human Services: Reference Resources
Reference Resources
Reference resources (encyclopedias, dictionaries, almanacs, handbooks, etc.) are essential to research. They provide quick facts, statistics, and topical overviews that may not be found elsewhere. Below is a sample of the BCC libraries' Human Services related reference books. Those in print format do not leave the library. Those online require an active BCC ID.
