All of these resources can be accessed either on campus or remotely by entering in the S number on the back of your student ID. There are two sections to this guide:  Research Project Resources and Resources by Topic. The Research Project Resources section highlights the various library resources that will help you to successfully complete your research project assignment, no matter what topic you choose to research. The Resources by Topic section organizes library and Internet resources by your syllabus topic (i.e. Genocide Deniers, Genocide and War, The Killing Fields, etc.). If you need any assistance in using these resources or if you are having difficulty in locating information, please contact the Sociology Liaison Librarian. Research Project Resources Reference Materials Use reference materials to get an overview of the topic you are researching as well as to understand how sociologists approach your research topic. When using reference materials make note of any words that are used to describe your topic, these words can serve as keywords when it comes time to search for articles in online journal databases. Also, pay attention to the citations located at the end of topic entries, they can be used as a starting point for locating scholarly research. Gale Virtual Reference Center Credo Reference Crimes of War: A–Z Guide (Crimes of War Project) Encyclopedia of Genocide and Crimes against Humanity      Ref HV 6322.7 .E532 (3 volumes) Online Encyclopedia of Mass Violence Return to top Search Tips Tip 1 Boolean Operators:  To search the catalogs and databases highlighted in this guide you will need to use Boolean operators (ANDs and ORs), quotation marks, and truncation to pull up books and articles on your topic. Here is a brief overview of how to use Boolean operators and truncation: AND:  use AND to link together search topics (hiroshima AND nagasaki) OR:  use OR to link together synonyms or like concepts ("great leap forward" or famine) AND (mao or china) *:  use truncation to pull up the root of a word with variant endings (kurd* will bring up kurds, kurdish, kurdistan) Tip 2 Brainstorming:  Take a minute to brainstorm all of the ways that the concept of genocide, a geographic region, an event, or a people can be referred to, then group those synonyms with the OR Boolean operator. For example: "belgian congo" OR "congo free state" holodomor OR (ukraine AND "great famine") nanking OR nanjing "native american" OR "american indian" OR Sioux (balkans OR yugoslavia) AND (genocide OR "ethnic cleansing" OR "ethnic conflict") Return to top Books Geisel Library Catalog Use to locate books housed in Geisel Library.
