The databases featured in this box are particularly useful for this class. You can learn more about databases on the Research Hub's Databases tab. (The library homepage search box will search all these simultaneously, but sometimes it is nice to go straight to a database of choice.)
Find all our databases at Databases A-Z.
Tips: Librarians can point you to reputable citation guides. You can auto-generate a citation from a database, but double-check its accuracy. DEWC are the citation gurus!
Think about keywords related to your topic in general, or a specific context or focus, to start your search in the library's catalog, WorldCat@SU. When you find a good item, try the subject links to lead to more resources on the topic. Also (for physical books) browse the shelf nearby for related titles. Ask your librarian for advanced search tips!
Try some of these subject headings in WorldCat:
Germany | Japan | Political culture- Germany | Political culture- Japan | Women- Government policy | Women- Political activity | Economic development | Politics and government | Diplomatic relations | Nationalism | Social conditions | Economic history | Decentralization in government | Emigration and immigration- Government policy | Women labor union members
Access articles via the Databases A-Z page. If off campus, you'll need to log in with your SUEID.
