Anthropology-focused encyclopedias, dictionaries and handbooks are excellent places to start when a topic is new to you. They provide discipline-specific definitions of words and an overview of the topic, including, for example, major issues studied, historical development, key scholars and significant work within the field.

They increase your familiarity with a topic, helping you to identify key concepts, terms, social theories, culture groups, places and names in preparation for searching for information on it.
