For students in Ms. Boe’s Current Events class who are coming into the library on Friday and next Monday, I’ve gathered some sites to help you in your research. I know that each group is addressing a different aspect of the situation in Rwanda, so some of these sites may be more useful to some groups than to others.

You can try searching for Rwanda, but I also had good luck searching for Rwanda AND genocide as well as Rwanda AND genocide AND response. After you search, especially in the subscription databases, look at the left and right sides of the Results page for links to more information. The same is true when you click into an article or document. Most databases and some stand-alone websites will try to connect you with related information.

As always, library staff will be around to help, so feel free to ask. If you need the usernames and passwords for the subscription databases, pick up a blue sheet in the library.
