Government 83.02: Politics and Markets

You can search the library catalog here:

Once you have found one or more books that are useful in the catalog, you may notice that they usually have "Subject Headings" attached to each record.

Subject Headings are agreed upon words and phrases to describe a topic (e.g. Foreign Relations), or idea/concept (e.g. Freedom), or a proper name or place (e.g. Obama, Barack; or France).
Each item record in the catalog may contain one or several assigned Subject Headings. When you've found useful items from another search, you can use the subject headings to find other, similarly tagged items.

Some examples:

• International Monetary Fund
• Globalization

Subject heading searches require exact matches, so it's usually easier to start with a keyword search and progress from there.

There are a large number of subject headings related to International Politics, including:

• International relations
• Diplomacy
• International cooperation
• and many more...

Map of Campus Libraries

Dartmouth has arrangements with other libraries that let you request any items you can't find on campus. You can use BorrowDirect, which searches the catalogs of the Ivy Plus Libraries, or DartDoc, which lets you request items from anywhere.

This database combines information from more than 70,000 libraries about more than 131 million books, periodicals, recordings, scores, archival collections, and other  material held in major research institutions, public, and national libraries both domestic and foreign.

Hathi, the Hindi term for elephant, is emblematic of the colossal ambitions and scope of this digital repository. The enterprise is a joint venture of more than 30 major research libraries including Dartmouth College, and other prominent universities undoubtedly will sign on. Almost seven million volumes (four million titles) are currently posted, with close to 1.5 million in the public domain. Each month thousands of additional titles are incorporated into the collection.

At Dartmouth we have full access to the public domain volumes and the ability to search the full content of ALL volumes in the Hathi collection.
