An encyclopedia is usually a set of books that provides facts about people, places, and things. The entries are arranged alphabetically.

When looking for information about a famous person in an encyclopedia, you should note that people are listed by their surnames, not their first names. So, you will find "George Washington" under "W," not "G." The subject will be written as "Washington, George." Subjects beginning with "The" will be found under the first letter of the word directly after "The." The same is true with article titles beginning with "A." For example, you will find A Midsummer Night's Dream written as Midsummer Night's Dream, A.

百科全書通常屬於套書，網羅五花八門的人事物資訊，並且依照字母順序編排每筆資料。

在百科全書查找名人相關訊息時，應留意人物資料均以其姓氏列於目錄，而非名字。也就是 說，如果你想查詢「George Washington」（喬治•華盛頓），就必須查找「W」字母，而非「G」字母。因此，該筆資料會以「Washington, George」的方式呈現於目錄。而「The」開頭的資料，則會列於接在「The」後方那個名詞的首字母目錄。而標題開頭為「A」的文章亦同理可證。舉例來說，如需查找A Midsummer Night's Dream，你會發現目錄中的呈現方式為Midsummer Night's Dream, A。
