What type of reference source do you use the most (if at all)? Yes, this can extend to the internet. Let's just assume that it is limited to the individual reference sites and not the whole thing because everyone would pick that. I can't remember any others, so forgive me if I didn't list yours.




As for myself, encyclopedias. I use wikis, but I also frequent many types of them in my school's library for research and information on things I'm interested in.

Bleh. For university work, I found it much easier to use journals so far. Just for some fun old learning, I use atlases and encyclopedias, although I'm not entirely sure which I've used more. Probably encyclopedias.

I do a lot of fiction writing so dictionaries are usually my reference of choice. For school I look up academic journals and maybe books at the library.
