Reference books, such as dictionaries, encyclopaedias and handbooks are a useful starting point when beginning your research. Dictionaries provide definitions, and help you to understand the terminology. Encyclopaedias provide a general overview of a topic, and may also provide a list of books and journal articles for further reading.

Reference books can be located via a subject search in NEWCAT. For example,  Dentistry Handbooks,  Dentistry Terminology.

Printed material for Oral Health is mainly located in the Ourimbah Library on the Central Coast Campus.
