The purpose of this Research Guide is to direct you to a few quality sources on different countries and to introduce you to the types of sources that include reliable information. It is suggested that you learn about your chosen country from a variety of sources. Visit the book and e-book tabs to find books on your country. The databases tab includes a range of select databases that you may search to find articles. In addition, there are a few great web resources that the librarians have evaluated.
Please be aware that the Research Guide is not intended to provide neatly assembled packages of information about each country. The Search box at top is not for searching in this particular Research Guide, but to search for other Research Guides in our system. There are a few other Research Guides that may prove helpful. Links are provided below.
