Sociology

Specially selected by your subject librarian, the resources here, including ebooks and databases, will help you with your studies in the discipline.

About this Page

Many times, databases are sufficient for doing research for your literature review for class assignments. (See the list of databases in the next box below.) Databases sometimes do not have the most current research on any given topic. To do an exhaustive review of the most current literature, go directly to individual journal titles.
