Sociology Databases

NOTE: If you're in SO 101 use these databases first!

SocINDEX with Full Text
Abstracts and some full-text for sociology and social work journal articles, books, and conference papers.

Search for ebooks, books, DVDs, CDs, print journals, scores, and other physical items in the library.

If you locate the perfect article and it's not available full-text, you can order it via interlibrary loan. Create a free interlibrary loan account.
