✦ Synopsis

Prepared by practising librarians, this carefully structured and up-to-date guide offers researchers easy access to some of the best and most commonly used resources in the social science literature. It can also serve as a teaching text for students wanting a straightforward approach to learning about the important reference sources in the social sciences. Revised and expanded to reflect changes in the field, this edition presents 1030 annotated citations arranged by discipline into 12 chapters: general social sciences, political science, economics, business, history, law and legal issues, anthropology, sociology, education, psychology, geography and communication. The sections on electronic resources in each chapter have been greatly expanded. These provide users with an introduction to new technologies and formats related to the research of social sciences. The number of area studies sources has also been increased.
