Political Science  

You may ask why you should choose to use a book as a resource as opposed to a journal article or a site found on the web. 

Well, books tend to be resources that are longer and more in-depth than  journal articles or most web sites.  Books often provide great detail and different perspectives on a particular topic. 

On the other hand, a book may explore a multitude of different aspects that lie outside of your topic.  The use of specific, relevant chapters is perfectly acceptable.

So, does that mean that good researchers only use books?  The answer, of course, is that

the best researchers use a variety of different resources!

Welcome to the Neumann University Library research guide for Political Science.  Access tutorials for using different research tools and portals to information sources are provided here.  Also included are various tips for effective researching, writing and citing your sources.  Don't forget that you can always Meebo, email, telephone, or stop by the Library for additional support. 

Happy Researching!
