SPIA: Welcome to the Library

Key library resources and library how-to's for SPIA students

Welcome SPIA Students!

This guide is meant to help you navigate the research process.

In Search Basics, we show you the fundamentals of creating a search.

We move on to how you can use other features (notably subject headings, filters, and advanced search options) to find even better results in Advanced Searching.

In the tabs Recommended Databases and Data and Statistics, we point you towards resources that could make your search easier (including some resources you may not have known that we had!)

Finally, we show you how to request any resource you find that Princeton University Libraries doesn't have access to in Accessing Non-Princeton Resources.

And be sure to check out the calendar at the bottom of this page to see what events the library is hosting--we may be teaching a workshop on some software you need to use!
