I am interested in your supporting an argument with evidence and logic. The primary sources you should consult are the newspaper articles you have clipped and the readings from the syllabus that are most relevant to your research paper. You should also consult some outside sources to provide additional background for your analysis. If you have never used it, set up a tutorial with one of the librarians. The most recent issues have been placed in the reserve room.
Older editions are either in the stacks or on microfilm.
The best source for arms control issues is Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The best source on Asian issues is Far Eastern Economic Review. The Expanded Academic Index, which you can access through the Colby Library Catalogue, provides a fairly comprehensive search of journal and newspaper articles. If you want access to debates in the U.S. Congress on foreign policy issues, the CIS Index is the most comprehensive finding aid. We have both an on-line service as well as reference books.
