Reference Books: Online Versions & Excerpts

The following is a list in call number order of some encyclopedias, dictionaries, and other reference resources for which the UCF Libraries provide online access.  This list is NOT comprehensive.  Some print versions include additional material not available in the online versions, e.g., photographs, charts, maps, and other topics.  Some of the online sources only include very selective portions, e.g. Biography Resource Center only provides the biographical sections from the print titles.  Links in the "Title" column below provide direct access to the specific title. Links in the "Source" column below are for those online databases which can be searched by topic, but which do not necessarily provide a means of browsing the content of a specific title.  For those titles labeled below as "(online only)" there may be earlier or later print editions available in the UCF Libraries.
