A Guide to Political Science: Start

Welcome!

Welcome to the library guide for conducting research in Political Science! Political science examines the relationship between people and governments by exploring political institutions and systems, political theory, and human behavior. Students of political science will need to be able to find facts, statistics, and current events news as well as analysis of issues in political science. This guide will help you with all of those tasks.

We have a few other guides that might help you with your research:

Librarians are here to help you with your research. We can suggest appropriate resources to search, help you troubleshoot any issues, or simply brainstorm about your topic and ways to explore it. We look forward to connecting with you!

  • Make an appointment with me or any librarian. We offer appointments both in person and online.
