This guide is designed as a jumping-off point for your research in the field of sociology. It covers key resources, both in print and electronic, but is not comprehensive. Remember that sociological queries are often interdisciplinary, so be sure to check for library resources in other areas like agriculture, art, education, ethnic studies, gender studies, health, history, law, psychology, and urban planning---depending on your topic of inquiry.
For help locating and using library resources and services use the Ask A Librarian service or contact Carin Graves (gravesc@msu.edu), the subject specialist for Sociology. Research consultation appointments are available upon request.
For help with technical issues (e.g. problems with library e-resources such as login issues, error messages, etc.) contact Reference and Discovery Services at (517)353-8700 or fill out this form.
