POLS 342 - Professor Jeydel (Fall 2014): Suggested Resources

Suggested resources for your research.

When you have a question about research, and don't ask a librarian, God kills a kitten.

Think of the kittens!

=^-.-^=

Seriously, though, if you have any questions or would like any help finding sources, please let us know. Librarians can:

  • Help save you time.
  • Help you find good, scholarly sources.
  • Make you feel, in comparison, incredibly cool and socially gifted.

Evaluating Sources

Consider the questions on the "How to evaluate information" page when deciding whether or not to use a website for your research.

Why you need to evaluate sources

Background Sources

These are great sources for getting an overview of your topic or to get ideas on what topic you would like to pursue.

Finding Books & Articles

This video will walk you through the process of finding books and articles using OneSearch.

JSTOR

JSTOR is another option for finding scholarly journal articles. Once the video is playing, you can click it again to have it open in a new window so that you can see it better.
