Finding Reports and White Papers

Reports and white papers can be found using multiple access points, including the Libraries' catalogs and databases, as well as Google. Below are a selection of databases that provide access to reports and white papers.

Columbia International Affairs Online (CIAO)
Provides access to scholarly articles and policy briefs from a number of international relations research centers.
CQ Researcher
This is also a useful database for finding reports. Using search terms such as "gender and the law" will yield a number of reports on this topic.
PolicyFile Index
Indexes research and publications from public policy think tanks, university research programs, research organizations, and publishers. Each item includes an abstract and, where available, access to the full-text of the report and/or the websites and email addresses of the authoring institution.
