The role of a reference work in today's university (3)

Here's the third and final episode of our series.

What is the role of a multi-volume, major reference work in today's academic world? Are students still using content in this way? How can it be used for teaching purposes? Should it be available in print or online? Is it still important for a library to purchase such things?

With reference to the recently-published 'International Encyclopedia of Human Geography', this high-definition video provides all the answers.

Watch real academics and teachers talking about their experiences of using reference works and why they are essential for libraries in academic institutions.

In this clip, we ask the question: 'why might a library be interested in an online - rather than a print - version of a major reference work?'. Check out the other videos on our ElsevierBooks online channel for more videos.
