Public Policy and Legislation

This guide is designed to help you find resources and information about public policy and legislation for research.

Popular Source Search Tip

Similar to the government information search tip on the "Getting Started" tab, use the trick below to help when searching for newspaper and magazine sources online:

  • Enter "site: newspaper/magazine name + keyword(s) "
    • Ex: site: new york times public school lunch nutritional policies
  • To further refine this trick, enter the domain of the news site you're interested in exploring to narrow your results.
    • Ex: site:nytimes.com isle de jean charles climate refugees

If you find a news article but it is blocked by a paywall, and LSU does not have access to it through the databases, you can still get free access to the article by requesting it through Interlibrary Loan.
