Information Sources of Political Science

the long version

A thoroughly revised and updated new edition of the world's leading comprehensive bibliography of American and international politics. The field of political science is continually expanding and deepening. Technology has dramatically increased the amount of political and governmental information and the ways to access it, but how do students and researchers keep from getting lost in the maze of references, sourcebooks, and databases? The eagerly anticipated new edition of the widely acclaimed Information Sources of Political Science is the most comprehensive English language political bibliography available, offering the surest way for students and researchers to get straight to the information they need. Like no other volume, it provides a fully rounded view of the field both in the United States and internationally, including relevant works in history, economics, sociology, and education. Its 2,500 entries cover a wide variety of source types: indexing and abstracting services, major bibliographical tools, encyclopedias, dictionaries, handbooks, directories, statistical compilations, and more. In addition, this edition is the first to feature substantial coverage of electronic resources, both databases and Internet sites. Each source receives its own annotation, with entries grouped in categories to bring together like works for easy comparison. This work is a cornerstone reference for academic and public libraries.
