Using an Encyclopedia

        By: Mr. D’Annibale
For use by Fannett-Metal Students
When do use an
     Encyclopedia?
• Starting your research
• Background information
• Overview of a topic
Why not just go to Wikipedia?
• Many Wikipedia pages are fact-checked by
  experts
• Many are not fact-checked and can contain
  bad information
• Print Encyclopedias are written by and fact-
  checked by experts on the topics
How to find what you need
• Step 1: Go to the index (usually the last book in
  the set)
• Step 2: Find the topic that you are looking for (it
  is alphabetical like a dictionary)
• Step 3: Go to the book that the index points you
  to
   – It will say something like 1:32 that would be book 1,
     page 32
   – It could also say A: 32 which would be book A page 32
Online Encyclopedia
• If you would like to use the online
  encyclopedia that FM subscribes to, to go:
  http://www.school.eb.com
• If you are off-campus, you will need a
  username and password from Mr. D’Annibale
