Reference items are materials that can be browsed or used within the library but not taken out. You will find dictionaries, encyclopedias, bibliographies, yearbooks, handbooks, etc., in the Reference collection.

Reference items in the Library catalogue (FiNDit) have the following features:

1. Location = Library name + Reference collection

2. Item status = Not loanable

3. Call No. = this will usually begin with an R, denoting the Reference collection.
