What is "Reference"?

"Reference" is a term to describe publications such as dictionaries, encyclopaedias, handbooks, multi-author edited volumes, guides, compendia, collections of essays, companions, manuals, etc.
 
Reference works give you short treatments of factual information, illustrations, definitions, condensed overviews, and in some cases also give lengthy essays. They introduce you to topics, and can help you decide whether a subject interests you, or if it is manageable and workable.
