Specialized Sources

The sources listed in this section are examples; often there are other resources available. You may add to this list by using the Library research guides and InvestiGator, the online catalog. Many of the Library's research guides include specific recommendations appropriate to the subject area. The Business, Foreign Countries, Ethnic Studies, History, Political Science/Public Administration and Women Studies research guides are especially useful.

To use InvestiGator, do a keyword (Words) search combining your topic with one of the standard words that are often used to describe statistical sources: almanac*, handbook*, ratings, or statistics. For example:

• cities and statistics
• climat** and handbook*
• school* and ratings
• technology and almanac*

These search tips will not identify every book with significant statistical content, but the results will indicate useful call numbers for browsing.
