International Relations and Politics: POLI 3065: Final Research Assignment

Developing a Research Topic that has sources that will support your thesis can be challenging.  Scholarly resources can be extremely narrow and focused, and finding articles, chapters, or books that align with your topic can be challenging.

The library has resources that help guide you on narrowing your topic:

• Developing Research Questions Section of Research Skills Tutorial
• Starting a Research Topic
• How do I find and use scholarly/peer-reviewed sources on my topic?

Librarians can help save you time and get better sources that will hopefully lead to better outcomes on your assignments.

Ask a Librarian is a service where you can ask for librarian assistance.  Librarians can help you in the following ways:

• Email: email librarian@sunyempire.edu and we can help guide you to sources and assist with research.
• Library Consultations: Librarians will meet with you and review your research topics, help you find sources and follow up with you to get you the best resources possible.
• Live chat service is also available if you have specific questions or are struggling to find articles.
