About the Milner Politics and Government collection:
Politics and Government resources can be found primarily on the 4th floor of Milner Library. Political Science call number ranges are from J to JZ and HX. Political scientists may also find the history collection and the philosophy collection useful. For those studying the government, the government documents collection is invaluable. Some of the most helpful databases are PAIS, Social Sciences Abstracts, JSTOR, LexisNexis Congressional, and Historical Abstracts.

I also recommend the Center for Government Studies' PolicyArchive database.  It "is an innovative, new digital archive of global, non-partisan public policy research, [including] summaries and full texts, videos, reports, briefs, and multimedia material of think tank, university, government, and foundation-funded policy research."
