Why Use Business Encyclopedias?
Business encyclopedias can give you the broad overview of a topic.
Articles are often on very specific topics; business encyclopedias and books often take a more general perspective that can enhance your understanding of the specific info in articles.
Some subject encyclopedias are very scholarly. Your professors won't be impressed by WorldBook or Wikipedia; but they might be impressed by a source like the highly respected New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics.
