Political Science

Political science is the study of government and politics. This LibGuide will help you locate places that have resources for your research.

Article Databses

Databases are a great place to search for individual articles from newspapers, magazines, and academic journals. 

While many news and magazine articles may also be found with an internet search engine, our subscription databases can provide you with access to older articles that are not available online and other pay-per-view materials, plus additional options to refine your search. As far as scholarly articles go, databases should be your first stop! Most scholarly literature is not freely available.  

Get started quickly with the search bar below, or check out some of our subject-specific recommendations. Be sure you've registered for off-campus access.
