Best Bets and Starting Points

If you need somewhere to begin your research, here are some of the best bets for finding context for your research topic!

Books

ZSR Library Catalog
Use this to find books, ebooks, government documents, and documentaries on your conflict.

Tips for searching the catalog:

If it is a smaller conflict, you can try searching for the country name and "united states" i.e. Grenada "United States"
If you know the name of the military operation, try that "Operation Desert Storm"
Names of people can also be useful (Reagan, Duarte, Castro, etc.)
For larger conflicts you might want to add "strategy" or another term to limit your results
