Just a little plug for Gale Virtual Reference Library. I have found this to be an excellent source which provides a broad overiew on a wide range of subject areas. For example, I just today found a useful encyclopedia article on New York City and the Draft Riots in the Encyclopedia of War and American Society.
Check out the title list (on the top tool bar) for a list of reference titles included--it's quite extensive and impressive. Some of my favorites are: Encyclopedia of Religion (15 vol.), Business Plans Handbook (10 vol.), Countries and Their Cultures (4 vol.), Dictionary of American History (10 vol.), Encyclopedia of Food and Culture (3 vol.), Gale Encyclopedia of Multicultural America (3 vol.).
The search engine is not as fab as the list of titles. Try an advanced search and select the Document Title field (advanced search) and/or narrowing within a selected Subject area.
