There are several encyclopedias, handbooks, and dictionaries to use for a quick lookup. Reference materials are not typically something you sit down and read cover to cover, though you could if you really wanted to. A small selection is shown below.
Your instructor will sometimes put materials on reserve at the Circulation Desk for your courses. These lists will sometimes also include e-books and articles.
The library is part of a consortium of academic libraries known as I-Share. As COD students, you can request items from other libraries and pick them up at the COD Library, all at no cost to you. For more information, visit our Requesting Items Webpage.
