Welcome back to This Week in Reference!
September is always a busy month, with new students, new faculty, and lots and lots of textbook questions! While we may not have the specific textbook that you need for class, we do carry many other resources that you will need throughout your studies here at DePaul.
Some of the research questions coming across our desks this week were:
- Role of government in combating poverty in France compared to the United States
- Fahrenheit 451, for Banned Books Week
- Regression analysis
- Diabetes support groups
And a detailed look at one of our questions about finding newspaper articles:
Question: Where and how can I find newspaper articles on celebrities taking drugs, aggressive behavior, neglecting their children etc. The articles have to come from respected newspapers.
Answer: You can find searchable newspapers on our Newspapers and News Stories Guide. You’ll find The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, the (London) Times, and many more newspapers linked there. Search for articles by keyword (‘celebrities’ and ‘drugs’, for example) or search for a particular celebrity’s name. Sounds like a fun topic!
