What is an encyclopedia?
We use an encyclopedia to get
information for a report, to find an
answer to a question, or to read about
something in which we are interested.
An encyclopedia is a reference source
Why would we use an
encyclopedia?

If you are looking for information about a topic for a report the encyclopedia is a good place to start. The article will give you a good general overview of the topic. You will want to find additional information sources as well.
The encyclopedia gives you information about persons, places and things and answers the questions “who?” “where?” “when?” and “how?” But an encyclopedia does not usually answer the question “why?”

What is a print encyclopedia?
A print encyclopedia is a set of books
that contains information about
many different subjects. Because
the amount of information cannot all be put into one book, it is divided into many smaller
books. Each book is called a volume.

How are the volumes of an encyclopedia organized?
The volumes in each set are arranged in alphabetical order to make it easy to find the information. They are also numbered to make it easy to keep them in order.

How are the subjects in an encyclopedia organized?
On the pages, the subjects are arranged in alphabetical order with
guide words on each page like a dictionary.
![Page 7: 4th Encyclopedias1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555ba4e1d8b42ab9568b4f28/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
To find a subject, look for the letter it begins with and choose that volume. The subjects on each page are usually printed with large, dark letters.
Example: dinosaurs

To find a person, look for the person’s last name.
Example: George Washington
![Page 9: 4th Encyclopedias1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555ba4e1d8b42ab9568b4f28/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
If a person has a title, you will find information about him or her
under the last part of his/her name.
Example: Queen Elizabeth would be found under “E” for Elizabeth

To find a place named with two parts, look for the first
part.
Example: Grand Canyon
![Page 11: 4th Encyclopedias1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062312/555ba4e1d8b42ab9568b4f28/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
No one knows the answer to everything, but clever people know where to find answers.
Many answers to questions can be found in the
encyclopedia. But you must know what to look for. When you
have a question, look for the most important or specific name (key word or
words).This will most likely will be the topic, or subject, to look under for the information
you want.
