The UO Libraries Guide to the J202 Project

The J202 project requires students to make extensive use of the resources of the University of Oregon Libraries. J202 students are asked to find a variety of materials on a public policy topic, including books, articles from periodicals, government documents, and institutional sources. The links below will assist you in working through the final project and in gaining a better understanding of the resources of a large academic library.
