Resources in Sociology

About the Collection

The sociology collection in the UIUC Library supports the teaching and research programs in sociology and its subdisciplines, such as demography and social ecology, social psychology, and urban and community studies. Current areas of focus within the department include: Social Dynamics and Structure, Race, Class, and Gender, Science, Technology, Environment, and Society, and Transnational Studies.

Current English-language books, as well as the core journals in sociology, social science methodology, and social theory are housed in the the Education and Social Science Library, but the majority of the estimated 85,000 volumes held in the field of sociology are located in the central bookstacks of the Main Library.

Please direct all comments, requests for information, or suggestions for items to purchase to JoAnn Jacoby, Anthropology and Sociology Librarian.
