Why background sources?

Background and fact sources are what libraries often call Reference Books. They can be encyclopedias, dictionaries, handbooks, manuals, biographies, etc. These sources provide summaries, explanations, definitions and factual information including important people, events, concepts and terminology. They contain what is generally considered well-established knowledge and can provide a basic understanding in which to fit the more specific information you learn through your research. Exploring your topic in background sources can:

  • 'place' the topic within the disciplines involved
  • summarize basic concepts and viewpoints
  • provide historical context
  • identify and define special terms used to discuss the topics
  • provide data, facts, formulas, etc. to support your research
