The dictionary defines a handbook as: (1) a book of instruction or guidance, as for an occupation; manual, (2) a guidebook for travelers, (3) a reference book in a particular field, or (4) a scholarly book on a specific subject, often consisting of separate essays or articles. Almanacs typically provide facts about a topic or organization based on defined time periods, often calendar, academic, or fiscal year. Manuals provide instructions.
These resources provide useful overview or contextual information and are sometimes called ready reference materials. While many libraries offer a "Ready Reference" section with hard copies, many researchers and librarians find relevant handbooks, almanacs, and handbooks on-line as virtual resources.
