The resources on this page will help you to research and write on the Analysis of Actors & Policies Paper topic of your choice.
Welcome to the SS202 page of my Social Sciences Research Guide. This page has been created to help you get started with your library research for the Analysis of Actors & Policy Paper. The databases on this page should be helpful tools for researching one of the eight public policies assignments. Two clinics per semester will be held to help you with your research.
Remember that along with advocacy groups pro and con, political parties, and privately funded think tanks, public opinion, and mass media are informal actors. When informal actors take a public stand on an issue, their website postings are primary sources. On the other hand, formal actors such as federal, state, and local government have primary source documents available online, e.g., executive actions may be found on the White House website. Each public policy below has links to help you start your research. If you would like to meet for further assistance, please contact me so we can arrange a time we’re both available.
