Summary

Martin and Goehlert, authors of the definitive CQ's Resource Guide to Modern Elections, have written a simple but comprehensive explanation for users of all skill levels who need to gather election information from the huge array of print and electronic sources available today. 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.
