Your library spends money on books just for you & the work you do at Otterbein. Some of these books are reference books, traditionally used to answer a basic question; sometimes used to gain an understanding of a new concept. In addition to the resources available from the library, there are a lot of free online resources where you can find reference material. Using this guide will help you find both library resources & reliable online material.
