Where should I start looking to find sources for my paper or my research?Last updated: Sep 30, 2025

The two best places to find sources for your paper or your research are SCOUT, USMA Library's discovery layer, and our databases.

  • SCOUT searches all of our physical holdings (books, ebooks, DVDs, etc.) and SOME of our databases.
  • Many of USMA Library's databases provide access to scholarly books and articles on a wide variety of topics. 
  • General information about finding sources is located on our Find Sources page.
  • For specific information about finding secondary sources, view our Finding Secondary Sources page.
