How To Get Started

Welcome! My name is Rachel Hammer, and I am the librarian for the International Studies program at UNK. This guide provides some recommended sources for International Studies research.

Because International Studies is a highly interdisciplinary area, besides the resources included in this guide, you may also want to think about what other areas your research topic could relate to, and explore those resources as well. Additional research guides, databases, and journals are available.

Please contact me with your research questions using the contact links. You can also use the chat widget to connect to the on-call librarian.
