Research Resources for Students
This is a list of useful resources for student research. It is by no means all-inclusive, but should offer helpful tips and starting points.
Included are websites, articles, and books in both German and English. Some sources will only be suitable for upper-level students, while others (such as the General Resources) will be useful for all ages and levels.
