eReference for Midwifery

When you begin to research a topic, a good place to start is using Reference tools like:

1.  a Dictionary - to find the definition of terms (this will help define your topic);

2.  an Encyclopaedia - to get general background information about a topic; and

3.  a Thesaurus - to find synonyms and other similar keywords (to use for searching).
