Students use many types of Information Resources in their assignments and research. This page highlights several of the best Information Resources available through the UNR Libraries. The Encyclopaedia Britannica is an excellent place to start university level work. For quick facts you may also use the World Almanacs or the Statistical Abstract of the United States .
Scholarly journals provide authoritative, well researched analyses of topics in all subject areas.
Popular magazine articles provide informative though sometimes less thoroughly researched information. Use Academic Search Elite and ProQuest Research to identify scholarly articles, as well as popular magazine articles and news reports. The best resource for information on current events is often the News. Use the Library Catalog to find books and other materials in the UNR Libraries. Research projects often require the use of Specialized Subject indexes and databases that identify scholarly articles, books, government reports, and other information for specific subjects.
