About the Sociology Collection

The sociology collection in the University of Illinois Library supports the teaching and research programs in sociology and its subdisciplines, such as demography and social ecology, social psychology, and urban and community studies. Current areas of focus within the department include: Social Dynamics and Structure, Race, Class, & Gender, and Transnational Studies. Current English-language books, as well as the core journals in sociology, social science methodology, and social theory are housed in the the Social Sciences, Health, and Education Library (SSHEL), but the majority of the estimated 100,000 volumes held in the field of sociology are located in the Main Stacks.
