POLS 214: Bureaucracy and Democracy (HC)

Use the Tripod catalog for your home institution        to look for all books (print and digital) owned by your college as well as the print titles at the other two schools.  

The following searches are a sampling of possibilities.  To find materials on a topic, try doing a keyword search in the Tripod Catalog to find relevant materials and then use the subject headings assigned to those titles to find more books.  Note that all these searches are in the Books+Media channel.  In examples #1 and 4 below, using a search in table of contents (rather than any field) will pick up results from chapter titles.

       (bureaucracy OR "civil service")  [Table of Contents] AND "united states" [Any Field]        

        (bureaucra* OR "civil service" OR "public administration") AND ("united states") [Subject searches] AND leader* [Any Field]         

       (whistleblow* OR "whistle blow*" OR leak*) [Any Field] AND ("united states") AND (government OR politic*) [Subjects]       

        (chang* OR innovat*) [Table of Contents] AND (state OR municipal OR county OR local) AND (bureaucra* OR "public administrat*") [Subjects]
