This guide introduces essential resources, research approaches, and techniques for political science students and researchers, featuring key materials available through the Mina Rees Library that are especially valuable for researching political science and related topics.

Our E-Research Basics guide acquaints you with the basics of doing online research through the Mina Rees Library. You'll find information about logging in for remote access, deciding on and searching within a database, locating specific articles and doing broad exploratory searches, determining whether the GC has access to a particular journal, and more.

The GC Library ILL team can get you information from other libraries, help you access locally available information, and connect you to free online resources. ILL is usually fast (unless it is rare or from far away...but we can still often get those items, too) and always easy and worth a try!  Make a GC Library ILL Request and read the  GC Library Blog about ILL.
