This guide was created for students in the MAX 302 course to assist them in finding and identifying sources that cover social problems on a national or global scale, as well as sources that students may use to find solutions to those problems such as databases to journal articles. This guide will also describe a few research skills that students can employ to find the most relevant materials such as developing key words, or evaluating and determining the types of sources that are needed for their research.
For questions, please don't hesitate to contact the guide creator, Bonnie Ryan, Librarian for a variety of Maxwell subject areas.
