Honor Killings
This week a student asked us for help with her topic of honor killings for her CAS 100 class. Not the sunniest of topics but it is an important global issue and one that definitely requires some research and credible sources. Here are some to get started:
I also found a journal article about honor killings of women in Pakistan(link below) which: "offers a look at the practice of honour killings of women in Pakistan.Reason for such killings; Origin of the practice; Major categories of victims of the practice; Other southwest Asian countries that practice the same".http://ezaccess.libraries.psu.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=2686056&site=ehost-live
All great, credible sources brought to you by your library!
A search in LionSearch which is the default search on the library's
homepage, or here is the direct link, for "honor killings". Note that double quotes keep a phrase together when searching, so that the words don't get separated in your results list.
Here is a book in the library about the topic in Pakistan (note the
British spelling of honour)

I used Gale Virtual Reference Library, a collection of hundreds of online encyclopedias, aka the library version of Wikipedia, to find an entry about honor killings:
