You can also make use of other resources available at our library or online:
 

• Actual newspaper, magazines in our library
• Online services that provide access to US news items
• Clippings sent to you by family

The goal is to start collecting information on whatever ongoing issues link your country to the US.  You should also start familiarizing yourself with the recent social, political and economic history of your country.  In a couple of weeks we will have a lab on research methods that should help you find sources.
