Sources to Get You on Your Way
Note to students: Personalized suggestions should be considered additional resources to the databases that are described above in this guide.
Assume that if your topic is historically focused on the U.S., for example, you'll also have to use America History and Life; that if it has a political focus, Worldwide Political Science Abstracts will be essential; that if you're seeking materials of an IGO (UN) or an NGO, you'll use the links to custom search engines we've provided -- and so forth.
Research will require you to forage widely in the search environments available to you.
