Reference, Books and Media

The Clermont College Library has a variety of sources available for browsing in the reference and circulating collections.  Sociology topics can be found in Sociology (HM), Social Reform (HN), Family (HQ) and Race (HT).

A more effective way to find resources on your topic is to perform a KEYWORD search the online catalog(http://uclid.uc.edu/search/X) for example: 

adv kw sociology

From the results, identify an item and look at the SUBJECT  heading that best represents your topic.  In the above example, one SUBJECT heading would be "Social Mobility."  You may also limit your location to Clermont resources, however be aware that this will eliminate resources that can easily be borrowed from a UC library or other academic libraries across the state.

Examples of other Subject Headings:

Applied Sociology
Alienation
CRIME--Sociological aspects
Marxism
Post Modernism
