PERSEREC Materials
The Peterson Library has a wide array of resources in this subject area. This guide presents a selection of these resources as well as useful Internet websites. For a good overview of library research and our resources, take our Virtual Reference Tour. For research assistance, visit us at the library Information Desk, call us at 203-932-7189, or e-mail us. For assistance with writing the research paper, visit the Center for Learning Resources in Maxcy Hall.
Library Home Page
Go to the Peterson Library home page at www.newhaven.edu/library and take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with it. If you start at http://www.newhaven.edu/, click on Library in the top middle. All the links for accessing library materials and services are on the left side of the library home page. The most important are the ones for the Catalog, Databases, Journals, and library Guides, but a quick look at all the other links will be time well spent.
Library Catalog
Use the library catalog to find circulating and reference materials, including books, audio-visual resources, government documents, and periodical holdings. Our catalog uses the Library of Congress (LC) classification system and subject headings. LC assigns call numbers (letters and numerals) according to the book's primary subject. Items relevant to different aspects of national security will be found throughout the collection. Some quick catalog search tips:
- Truncate with ‘?': terror? will get terrorism, terrorist, etc.
- Put phrases in " ": "national security" or "intelligence service"
- Sort results by Publish date descending to get newest items at the top of the list.
- Click Bibliographic and use the subject-heading links to find additional material.
- Click Linked Resources or look for the URL box next to an item for online access.
For additional search tips, consult the library guide on Using the UNH Library Catalog (OPAC) or take our interactive Online Library Catalog Tutorial.
Interlibrary Loan
If you need something not in our catalog, please use our ILL service to have materials sent here from other libraries. Forms to request books and articles are available at the Information Desk, and also online. Fill out a separate ILL request form for each item. Incorrect or incomplete information will slow down receipt of material, so please be accurate.
NSP Graduate Student Projects
Many previous student projects in the National Security Program are on CD-ROM and have been added to the library's collection. A call-number search in the catalog using NSP, or a keyword search on the phrase "national security graduate program" will find call numbers for these projects. Request the CDs at the Circulation Desk. They are on Permanent Reserve and can only be used in the library.
SSG Richard Eaton, Jr. was a counterintelligence special agent and battalion training officer in the U.S. Army Reserves and died while on duty at Ar Ramadi, Iraq. Books in this collection, established in his honor in 2003, will come up in library catalog searches. Our guide provides more information on specifically searching this collection.
