Overview
Reference sources take several forms here at Musselman Library. As it has for many years, the bulk of our print collection resides on the shelves in the Reading Room.
Increasingly reference titles now come in electronic format. For example, the World Book Encyclopedia is now accessible in the World Book Web database. Contemporary Authors is now integrated into the Literature Resource Center. Sometimes we have access to both the electronic and the print formats. For example, The Dictionary of Art is on the shelf and also a part of Oxford Art Online. In addition, many reference sources can be found in the OhioLINK Electronic Book Center.
Most of the titles in our hard copy reference collection can be checked out for three days. If you need a reference source that we don't have, it's possible that it can be borrowed through OhioLINK.
If you have any questions about a reference source, contact Paul L. Weaver, Reference Librarian, weaverp@bluffton.edu, or 419-358-3448.
