PA 511: Introduction to Public Administration: Overview

This guide was designed as a companion to PA 511: Introduction to Public Administration.
Unlike other guides, such as Public Administration and Policy Research, this page is designed to provide a broad overview of resources at the Library. Much like the PA 511 class itself, the goal of this guide is a sense of the boundless avenues for research that are open to you as PA students at PSU.  The guide covers, in brief, various types of resources available through the PSU Library, including:

-Books
-Journals
-Reference Materials
-Databases & Articles
-Government Documents
-Maps
-Statistics & Data
-Policy Reports

The guide also outlines the Research Support Services the PSU Library provides to graduate students.  

• Contact a librarian 24/7 using our chat services.
• Email questions will receive a response in one business day.
• You can get help in person at the research help desk, 1st floor of the Library these days and times.
