Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to start researching my sociology paper topic?

To find credible sources on sociology topics, select Social Sciences under Research Databases by Subject on the library services webpage at this link:

https://www.worwic.edu/Services-Support/Academic-Support/Resource-Centers-(Library)

For overview articles use a database such as Credo Reference that contains reference books, or use the QuickSearch box and limit to Books under Source Type. For scholarly journal articles use a database such as Sociology Database or Social Science Database (both are in ProQuest Central). For controversial sociology topics you may also select Issues/Controversies in the Research Databases by Subject list to use Points of View Reference Center or Opposing Viewpoints in Context.
