Sociology

Get started with your sociology research.

Start Your Search

Sometimes it's best to start is with the broadest search engines.

Use Spartan Search to search everything in the library's collection.

Use Google Scholar to search a broader range of scholarship, some of which may not be in the library's collection (but is available through interlibrary loan). (Using Google Scholar effectively.) Primarily good for articles, can be good for books, especially if you're doing a deep dive.

If you are unfamiliar with doing research at the university level, check out the tips and tutorials in our Introduction to Library Research.

If you want to start with more focused resources, the following databases are the best for sociology.

Another Way to Search

Use Google Scholar for a broader search.

Google Scholar Search

If you find an article or book, not in full-text, request it from another library.
