If you are ready to jump right in, here are the main places to start:

• HALcat (Library Catalog)
  Find resources on your topic in Andersen Library, including books, DVDs and videos, government publications, pamphlets, and more.
  SPRING 2011: The use of "nesting" (use of parentheses around OR'd terms) does not currently work in the Basic Search mode of the online catalog. For example, (profiteer? or fraud) and "iraq war" will not be searched correctly in the Basic Search. For more complex searches, use the Advanced Search mode.
• Articles in Journals, Magazines and Newspapers
  Article indexes and databases available through the Library. Search these resources to find articles on your topic in journals, magazines, and newspapers. Indexes and databases are available via the alphabetical listing, or divided by broad subject area.
• Citation Linker
  If you already have an article citation, Citation Linker allows you to type in the citation and link to a menu of options for finding the full text of the article.
• Journal Holdings List
  Use this list to find out whether the Library owns a particular journal, magazine, or newspaper, as well as the dates and formats available. Search by title.
