Off of the Subject Guide Resource site from SCSU below
http://research.stcloudstate.edu/subjects.phtml?letter=E
you can research information by subject (in my case Ethnic Studies (General)) broken down by the following media sources:
- Find Articles, Journals, Magazines and Newspapers
- Find Facts, Definitions, Overviews
- Find Maps and Atlases
- Find Statistics
- Use Research Guides and Style Manuals
- Use Web Resources
- Library Information
After doing research on Sri Lanka using the subject guide I have to admit that it is quite useless for researching basic information. If one was to write a detailed essay on the political and historical background of a country there would be quite a bit of information on it. The articles I found were really detailed and didn’t provide me with information relevant to my country. My group member suggested to use https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html and I have found it quite informative. The information on countries on this site is divided up into nine categories (introduction, geography, people, government, economy, communications, transportation, military, transnational issues). It provides all the information you need to write a good country report.
