Reference publishing is the term used to describe the publishing of a diverse range of products, including dictionaries, atlases, encyclopaedias, bibliographies, directories, guides and the many reference works aimed at the academic, educational and professional sectors. Such products – reference works are not necessarily produced in book form – are distinguished by the fact that they are not made to be read from the beginning to the end. The user – rather than reader – either turns directly to the entry that is useful at that moment or might browse through looking for an interesting entry. Neither are these reference works intended to be stand-alone products. Rather, they are intended to supplement other books or activities.
