Images
Satellite Imagery, Darfur Humanitarian Emergency. (U.S. AID). Maps and images.
Many more images can be found by searching Google for images. Use of copyrighted images can be considered fair use, but this claim can be supported by choosing images from non-profit sources. Even better are images that have already been duplicated in blogs or on other websites. In any case, be sure to give credit as to the source of the images. This also bolsters your claim of use of the images for academic purposes.

Finding Books and Government Publications in the Catalog
There are not so many entries in the Catalog that you will be overwhelmed by simply entering "Darfur" as a keyword. But you can add other words to narrow your search further. Suggestions: Darfur conflict • Darfur human* (picks up "human rights" and "humanitarian") • Darfur genocide. To widen your search, use "Sudan" instead of "Darfur" and you will pick up a few more items.
Many of the entries you find for this topic are available directly online. Look for the link under the words "Click on the following" and it will take you either to the document directly or to a web page with a link to it.
