Vassar's Library Search is a great place to begin your research. It includes books, U.S. government documents, articles, news, and much more.
Include books (print and online) in your research. Make note of the call numbers for print books; you'll need those to find books in the library!
Think about what types of sources will you need for your research: Contemporary or historical news? Legal materials, like the text of court decisions or law review articles? Empirical data? The resources highlighted in this guide will help you find different types of sources, which often require different research strategies.
Make an appointment with a librarian for help with your research! Use the consultation form on the Ask a Librarian page or send an email to researchhelp@vassar.edu and one of Vassar's librarians will meet with you (over Zoom or in person) or send suggestions by email.
