They enhance this how-to with an annotated selection of the most useful print sources which your patrons can turn for just the right information.In Part I, the authors describe secondary research tools -- such as news organizations, databases, opinion polls, and Internet locations -- and primary sources -- such as campaigns, election financing, political parties, consultants, and more. Part II contains their selected bibliography -- with descriptive annotations -- that lists hundreds of important books on topics ranging from campaigns to voting participation.
