Over the past couple of weeks we have hosted our Beyond Harvard: Public Policy Research as HKS Alumni workshops in the library. Thanks to all who have attended. It has been so inspiring to hear about the work our HKS students will continue upon graduation to solve critical public issues.
Due to popular demand, we will be hosting this 30-minute workshop two more times:
Where: HKS Library Instruction Room (Littauer G14)
When:
If you can’t make a scheduled workshop, consult our Beyond Harvard: Public Policy Research as HKS Alumni research guide, and please contact us to find out more about library resources available to you as alumni.

As commencement approaches, we want to emphasize that HKS Library and Knowledge Services can serve as an important resource to you even after you graduate. Alumni have access to a number of databases including several with full-text scholarly articles and books. You may borrow books in-person with an HKS Alumni Library Card and access all Harvard-wide databases using our on-site guest computers. HKS librarians are also still here to help you and have created Beyond Harvard: Public Policy Research as HKS Alumni as a starting point.
Attend a 30-minute workshop this month to learn more about these resources:
Where: HKS Library Instruction Room (Littauer G14)
When:
No registration required. Space is limited so attendance is first come, first served. If you are unable to attend these workshops, please e-mail library_research@hks.harvard.edu to make individual or group appointments with a member of our research staff.

HKS Research Librarians have created this 2016 Spring Exercise Research Guide for 1st year Master of Public Policy (MPP) students completing the two-week long challenge. The guide links directly to Harvard Library database subscriptions, websites and data sources related to U.S. immigration and migration policy, including an important section on Congressional Resources.
U.S. Government Information Sources – Federal and Congressional Law Making are two other HKS Library Research Guides that will help students get started with research involving the U.S. Federal Government.
Email library_research@hks.harvard.edu or call 617-495-1302 to schedule an appointment to discuss specific research needs, Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
