Sociology: General Reference

Reference books typically provide general information and are a great starting point for your research, especially for a topic you are not familiar with. These books include encyclopedias and dictionaries and often have multiple volumes with an index to help you find information. Most reference books cannot be checked out and must remain in the library. In addition to print books, there are also a variety of electronic books and other reference sources that may be helpful as well. Use the links below to access these resources online.
