Specialty Search Engines
When you are researching current political issues, it is often difficult to find the most relevant and up-to-date information (for example, newspaper articles from the last day or two or statistics from government Web sites), as only a small fraction of the entire World Wide Web is accessible using regular search engines like Google and HotBot.  There are some specialized search engines which dig for information within a circumscribed area:

www.google.com/unclesam   A specialized search within the Google search engine that searches for government information

www.moreover.com   Searches for headlines from news sites

www.oneworld.net   Searches for Web sites on environmental issues

www.search.com/search?channel=8   The Government section of Search.com is a metasearch engine which sends out the search to a group of other search engines for governmental sites and combines the results

www.searchgov.com   Searches governmental Web sites

ONLINE DATABASES AND INDEXES

On the Databases list, which you can access from the Barnard Library home page, there are links for many online resources in political science.  After using an index, you need to look up in CLIO the titles of the journals in which the articles appear, in order to find the articles themselves. 

• Remember that in the title index screen in CLIO the title of a journal is followed by "serial". 
• If you are using the Telnet version of CLIO, use the "hol" command to examine the libraries holdings and find out where the volume you want is located.  In the Web version, go into the Long View.
• If you are using the Web version of CLIO, any journal which is available in full text online will be indicated by a link which will take you directly to the journal.

These databases and indexes (only available on campus or to those with a Columbia ID) will probably be the most relevant to your research:
