Reference-based books were made so specific factual information and facts can be accessed, they can have an organisation similar to encyclopedias, bibliographies, directories and dictionaries. A directory is a book or a website that lists a certain individuals/organisations in alphabetical order, or even thematically using the details such as names, addresses and also their telephone numbers. Unlike other books and journals, these are common not aloud to be borrowed, so the information has to be studied and recorded at the source of where the book is found. These books can be very useful when you are conducting research, but a lot of the time this information can be out of date, so it is not always as useful as a website could be online as these are frequently updated and tell you a specific date and time of when this was published. By using a referenced-based book, you can easily record a page and then come back to this information later without having to spend a long time looking for it again, often people who tend to do a lot of research use these types of books.
