EC325 / FI325 Bubbles and Crises: A History of Financial Crises: Example

Topic

I've decided to write my paper on the Panic of 1907 in the U.S. These are the steps that I'll follow to find quality information resources.

Step 1: Search the library catalog for books.

Step 2: Search the library databases for scholarly articles.

Step 3: Search for news articles in the library's databases.

If your topic is historical, keep in mind that the words/terms used to describe this event change over time. Newer articles will refer to this bubble as the "Panic of 1907." News articles contemporary to the time will not. Instead, use words to describe the economic crisis itself. Ask yourself, "how would a reporter in 1907 describe what just happened?"
