Find Books

Background reading on Current Events can be found throughout the Library, but don't expect to find a book on a very recent event! Search the PVAMU Libraries Online Catalog for specific topics (e.g., abortion), but try and be as specific as possible, to avoid retrieving too many records. You'll also find useful material in:

  • Facts on File REF D410.F32; current year at Reference Counter
  • Congressional Quarterly Weekly Report REF JK1.C15; current year at Reference Counter
  • CQ Researcher REF H35.E35; current year at Reference Counter
