To search for books on China's foreign policy, generally or with a specific country, use the Advanced Search to the right of the library search box. Select Library Catalog, change "any field" to "subject" and enter china foreign relations [name of country].

You can filter results by "held by library" for print books or "available online" and by date of publication.

For books on China's foreign policy in general, just search 'china foreign relations' (no quotes) in the subject field.

Other useful subject headings include

• china politics and government
• china diplomatic relations
• china economic conditions
• china social conditions
• china history 20th century
• china history 21st century

Other strategies to help identify grey literature include:

• check lists of references in books or articles
• search online - for example, limit Google searches to organization sites by including 'site:.org' (no quotes) in the search; use 'site:.gov' for government sites. Add keywords for your topic.
• identify likely producers of grey literature (think tanks, government agencies, NGOs, etc.)
  • Look for Resources, Publications, Reports, Data or similar categories on agency or organization websites
• identify experts in the topic and check their CVs for their publications, reports, conference talks, etc.

If you're not familiar with the think tank, IGO, NGO, etc., it's useful to review the About Us section of their website and look for other views about the organization in order to place their work in context and better evaluate the authority and credibility of their work.
