UMass Dartmouth Political Science LibGuide
I was pleasantly surprised to see my alma mater, UMass Dartmouth, listed on Lib Guides Community Site. I was even more excited to see that it was updated on October 7, 2013. The UMass Lib Guide for Political Science provided tabbed searching for easy access by users. Under the books tab, there is a list of Oxford Handbooks. I appreciate the Oxford Handbooks and will definitely take a closer look at them but there must be other, quality, authoritative books available at UMass for Political Science majors. It would be nice to see a little variety of sources. It would also be helpful to have information about looking for historical sources and primary vs. secondary sources. This lib guide is definitely a good start and is better than some others I have viewed this week.

I love the tabbed searching on the LibGuides; it is so helpful. In my observation, it depends greatly on the subject matter on how much variety is offered in LibGuides. I would think, however, Political Science would be offer a lot of options. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteIt was my favorite, too....besides being updated so recently, it had a clean look and was easy to use and understand. Ben's description of the Temple LibGuide made me give it another look, however, and I can see how both types of guides can have their fans.
