Here are some other databases that can help your research in a variety of ways:
Other good sources of journal articles:
- Academic Search Complete: the library's largest single database; contains all disciplines including political science
- JSTOR: multidisciplinary (including political science and related fields) that contains a lot of older content not available in other databases
- Web of Science: despite the name, this database also searches the top political science journals - and has a unique tool that lets you see who has cited a particular article, not just the bibliography of that article
News sources:
- NY Times archive: search for news stories going all the way back to 1852.
- National Newspapers Core: search several major papers (LA Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, etc.) from the 1980s to present
Other good information sources:
- SAGE Knowledge: contains many social science encyclopedias, good, authoritative source for looking up basic facts and data
- Historical Statistics of the United States: data on a wide range of topics relevant to political science research areas
- ICPSR: many datasets are available for download and use; you may find a relevant set for your research which you can analyze yourself! (NOTE: you must create a free account for yourself to download data; please see a librarian if you need help)
