When you are ready to find sources, the best place to start is the DHS library website. Go to Find Articles or Find Books to access resources our library owns.
Looking for Articles:
Start your article search with the main GALILEO search page or Student Research Center. (You will need a password for these sites, if you are off-campus. Get the password in the library or from the library staff.)
Take the time to think about keywords that will help you find the best results. You need to think like the database. So if you find an article that is even remotely connected to your research, look at the subject terms connected to that article to find better words to search with.
If you have a public library card and know your PIN number (by the way...you are awesome, if you have this information), try a couple of their databases for this project: CQ Researcher and Opposing Viewpoints. If you don't know your PIN number, you can ask any public librarian to help you set it up.
Good luck with your research! If you need any research or keyword help, please contact Ms. Newman (hnewman at csdecatur dot net).
