Reference Sources: Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Handbooks, and More!: Subject Specific Reference Sources

While general reference sources tend to be broad and multi-volumed works that cover a wide variety of topics and are great for quick reference, subject specific reference sources tend to focus on a specific discipline or subject within a discipline. Subject specific reference sources are useful for academic research because they tend to provide more depth about their subject matter and often point to other sources.
