About the Sociology collection

This sociology subject page is a starting point for finding library resources and social science data related to the study of sociology. Stanford Libraries collections include sources on quantitative and qualitative research methods and data and theories for our students, researchers, and the Stanford community. This is a starting point for library resources covering, but not limited to, inequality, social change, identity, social relationships, and the complexities of human social life.
