Doing research in global studies can be challenging due to the interdisciplinary nature of the field, and also the broad geographic coverage. This guide suggests starting points for global studies, and highlights resources for locating the primary sources that you may need for your specific research interest.
Still not sure where to start? Contact Ask a Librarian or the librarian for the geographic region of interest using the guides below.
If you are doing research on a specific part of the world--especially if you are looking for sources in the languages of the region--we recommend that use our Area Studies guides. Along with introductions to key resources in the study of the region, the guide includes contact information for the librarian who has experience with our specialized collections for these geographic areas.
