This highly selective research guide covers the most useful, current and basic sociology sources. This guide includes sources professors expect you to consult to research and write your paper.
Since the purpose of this guide is to facilitate your research and is only part of the research process you are encouraged to contact the reference staff or me in the library or by email.
The intent is to get you started on your library research by providing the tools for research. A Step-by-Step Guide to Doing Research, Research in the Electronic Age or other sources listed on this page and Style Guides explain the research process. A Glossary of Terms defines library terms used in this guide.
Additional information and guidance is available from the Subject Specialist for Sociology, Shari Grove (617-552-4481; grove@bc.edu).
