Encyclopedias should be used to get more information about a topic. If you are assigned a paper on Peruvian politics, you may want to consult one of the encyclopedias below to get some background information. In encyclopedias you'll usually get a general idea, and that's why they are only a starting point, so that you can get a sense of the big picture and can focus on getting detailed information from a book or an article.

Dictionaries are different from encyclopedias in that they'll rarely provide context for their entry. You can use a dictionary for basic facts and definitions, but it shouldn't be your only resource. Use a dictionary instead to obtain facts, dates, etc. about a particular event or figure that you can use to build your argument.
