IBUKI  REFERENCE

Reference

IBUKI uses lots of reference material to 'augument' its DB when appropriate. In most cases it does not put all a references entries in the DB because of resource limitations but only adds something to the IBUKI DataBase if it is needed when annotating some other text. This is not a strict rule and sometimes more entries are put in the DB somewhat at random. For references that will be 'reprinted' as an eBook all entries are included in the DB.

These pages are presented in the same format as the IBUKI Virtual Library but is more extensive than might appear there. As with the IBUKI Virtual Library, these works are not organized by what they are called (encyclopedia, dictionary, ...) but rather the nature of their entries. So a work only containing biographies is listed under 'Biographies' even if it calls itself a 'dictionary'.
