Guide to doing research in political science

UConn Library Search

 Use the UConn Library Ex Libris Discovery search to find books, ebooks, videos, and other materials owned by UConn Library. This also searches several multidisciplinary journal databases and is a great starting point for researching many topics.

  • Use the filters to the left of the search results to limit results by date, type (books vs. articles), etc.
  • Sign in with your NetID to enable requesting books be retrieved for you for pickup at the UConn library closest to you!
  • This tool retrieves only articles which the library has licensed full-text access. 
  • Use the Databases menu on the Library website to dig deeper into subject-specific journal research databases with more extensive coverage.
  • Use the WorldCat search on the Library website to search books not held by UConn, and to initiate free Interlibrary Services loan requests.
