Answer

There are two main recommendations for finding encyclopedias.

First is Credo Reference. This is a database that provides access to hundreds of in-depth subject encyclopedias and other reference materials. Credo can be accessed through the A-Z Database List or directly at: https://learningcommons.dccc.edu/credo 


Second, you can use the Reference filter in the A-Z Database List. In the "I need…" dropdown menu, select Reference. You will see a list of reference book collections and databases. You can further narrow your list by making a selection in the "I’m researching in…” dropdown menu.
