Library Resources for J 205 Gateway to Media

The Gateway project requires students to make extensive use of the resources of the University of Oregon Libraries. Gateway students are asked to find a variety of materials on a public policy topic: journalistic, institutional, and academic. The links below will assist you in working through the project and in gaining a better understanding of the resources of a large academic library.

Choose a topic:

CQ Researcher is your starting point for choosing a topic for the Gateway project. Click "View Online" and then click on "CQ Electronic Library." You can "Browse Topics" or enter a keyword search. CQ Researcher provides 20-page summaries of many public policy issues.

Find News reports on Oregon topics:

The Oregon Media Directory is a great place for finding news reports on Oregon topics. It compiles links to 60 websites for Oregon newspapers, radio and TV stations, and community-oriented blogs. There is a custom search box for each category, and also for the entire site.
