About the Political Science collection
Contact our subject librarian if you have questions about our political science collection. He is responsible for purchasing library materials and resources such as books, journals, and data to support research and teaching and can help you find what you need to do your work. Our subject librarian is Stanford's representative to two social science data archives, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) and the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research (Roper). He can help you access their collections and resources. Our subject librarian can assist you in preparing your research proposal's data management plan (DMP) and can work with you to document and share your data with other researchers and preserve it for the long-term in the Stanford Digital Repository (SDR).
