A more extensive version of this tab can be found in the Presearch: Exploratory and Background Reference Resources Research Guide.

Access to more than 150 dictionaries and encyclopedias covering all subjects.
“Not all vendors are able to use OpenAthens Federated Access to authenticate users. If you need to access resources from this vendor, please do not use the OpenAthens institutional login on their website. Instead, start from the WSU Libraries Search It tool or Datbases AZ list. Once we move completely to OpenAthens, sign in will be possible directly through the vendor website."
Sage Knowledge

CQ Researcher Online (CQ Press)
The CQ Researcher is a collection of reports covering political and social issues, with regular reports on topics in health, international affairs, education, the environment, technology and the U.S. economy from 1991 to the present.
