Transportation: Reference Works
Why Reference Works?
Scholarly reference works are useful for the following:
- An overview of a topic
 - Topic ideas for a paper topic or narrowing your topic
 - Finding keywords for searches
 - Bibliographies for further research
 
Reference works are good starting points for research, but are rarely cited in research as secondary sources.
