Reference books are a special subset of Pelletier's collection. Here you will find specialized  dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, and other materials that provide authoritative background information on your topic.

We also have some reference  "books" in electronic form. Here is a sample:

World of microbiology and immunology (PRINT)

Some ebook reference sources:

Encyclopedia of medical anthropology [electronic resource] : health and illness in the world's cultures / edited by Carol R. Ember and Melvin Ember  (highly recommended!)

Infectious diseases [electronic resource] : a geographic guide / [edited by] Eskild Petersen, Lin H. Chen, Patricia Schlagenhauf-Lawlor

Country Studies (from the Library on Congress)

Conducting research is a complex process.  Developing a list of terms and relationships among those terms is part of developing a research strategy.  Reading background information may help you refine the questions you ask and may lead you to related questions as well.

Credo Reference is a good place to start.
