  • About the Authors

Political science is a diverse and engaging field of study. What types of resources are needed by scholars in this wide-ranging discipline? In this volume of the Sudden Selector’s Guide series, Emily Keller and Laura Wimberley share strategies, tools, and resources for developing user-centered collections that are responsive to the needs of faculty and students in political science. The major subdisciplines, types of research questions being asked, and the information cycle for political scientists are outlined to give librarians an introduction to the field. Key resources, from monographs, journals, and databases to primary sources like datasets and government documents, are detailed in the guide. Learn about how to get involved in the professional community to help you advance from “sudden selector” to political science librarian.
