Comparative Constitutional Law: Books & Articles

SuperSearch

(Note: additional content available in other databases.)

 

SuperSearch provides access to many full-text online materials and all of the Drake libraries print holdings. For print materials, SuperSearch indicates whether Law or Cowles owns an item, its location and call number, and if it is checked out or on the shelf.

Search for journal articles from the main or advanced interface or by clicking the Journal Finder link. 

See the library's SuperSearch guide for instructions and tips, including how to find an article by citation.

Searching for Articles from Other Disciplines

Who Cited This Article?

If you find a highly relevant source, particularly one that was not published in the last year or so, seeing who else has cited it can be a good way to identify other research sources.

Below are some of the tools that can help you identify citing sources.

Notes:

  • The tool will only work if your starting article is included in that database.
  • Moreover, each tool can only identify citations included in its database, so you will likely get different results with each option. There may be a great deal of overlap or just a bit of overlap. 
  • Not every citing articles will be useful. The citing source may reference your article for reasons that are not of interest to you. 
  • Directions for using these tools, with screenshots, may be found on the Faculty Scholarship guide.

You can also find subject headings more specific to your topic by conducting a keyword search and then looking at the subject headings listed in relevant results.
