Business Guide: Dictionaries, encyclopedias and reference works

Dictionaries are either monolingual works with definitions of words, or bilingual for translation purposes. Dictionaries can be generic, or specific to a certain field with special terminology.

Encyclopedias and handbooks offer systematic references of different fields with basic and research information in summarized form. They can be either multidisciplinary or specific to a certain field.

Reference works are intended as resources from which information can be retrieved quickly. They can be used to get a general idea of the desired topic and terminology, and for checking individual facts.

Printed and electronic books can be searched on the Aalto-Primo database.

Location service helps you to find printed books, encyclopedias, dictionaries etc. in the Aalto University Learning Centre and shelf-classes.
