  • Headpower! 3rd Edition. Biggs, Mary G. And Others Academic Libraries Atlases Dictionaries Directories Encyclopedias Indexes Instructional Materials Library Catalogs Library Guides Library Instruction Reference Materials Undergraduate Students This is a library handbook used by freshman composition students at the University of Evansville (Indiana) as a required text. Though the first seven pages present information relevant only to Clifford Library--e.g., operating hours, floor plan, and circulation policy--the remainder provides more general bibliographical/instructional information. Various kinds of reference resources and their uses are described and their call numbers are provided. Included in these descriptions are general works--dictionaries, almanacs, atlases, directories, and encyclopedias; indexes--periodical indexes, newspaper indexes, and indexes to literary works, speeches, and art reproductions; and other sources--book review, statistical, biographical, and indexing/abstracting sources. Both a title and a subject index are provided with the document. (JD)
