Dear Kannan,

It is a simple byfercation between text books and reference books.  Textbooks are directly emphasized over course contents given in syllabus of the study.  Reference Books are additional books may be referred to know about deep & specific information on a particular part of the course contents. 

In Librarian's View Reference Books may be count a) One or Two Copies of text books reserved for only reference (not to be issued) b) only one copy of the books available in the library c) Costly Books Generally more than Rs.10,000 or as per institutions, rule and d) Reference Sources like Dictionaries, Directories, Encyclopaedias, Digests, Journals and other reference tools.
