Encyclopedias provide a great way to begin an inquiry. They provide an overview of the most important facets of a topic, as well as a concise list of recommended readings.
Reference Universe is a suggested first step, to see if one of our subject encyclopedias has an entry on your topic.
The University of Oregon Libraries have scores of encyclopedias. This guide lists the more important ones, by broad subject area.
