When you're exploring the research in political science (or another field), you'll likely do a mix of these two things:
Library research guide for POLS 38
Provides links to resources that can help with research in this class (and others).
Can't find a PDF full text link? Hitting a paywall?
Look up the article/book in Tripod!
(If needed, try the filter "Include results without full text.")
on-campus: https://www.webofscience.com
off-campus: get the link from Tripod
Use the link in the POLS 38 Research Guide

Reach out to talk about your ideas, projects, questions
Discussing your work and asking questions is a great way to build skills
You can get help setting up and using Zotero and other tools
