      Use SimplyMap to display a variety of datasets for different geographic areas.  There's a learning curve, but the results are worth the effort!

  The Political Reference Suite (aka CQ Electronic Library) is especially relevant in an election year. Our collection includes Politics in America, Vital Statistics on American Politics, Guide to the Presidency and Executive Branch, Guide to Congress, and Congress and the Nation (other titles, too!).

  We have two excellent sources for polls: Roper's iPoll and Polling the Nations. For data try ICPSR.

For Books, Use our new service Primo and limit your search to NUCAT or go directly to NUCAT, the Library's classic online catalog.
