Electronic Resources for Bibliographical Research on Sociological Topics
 

Electronic Resources Gateway Page at ND Library Site.  Through this page you can access many electronic indexes, reference materials, books, and e-journals.  For sociological research the two most useful databases are:

Web of Science:  A very valuable resource because it cross-indexes citations in articles allowing you to search for articles that contain a citation for another article.

Sociological Abstracts:  A large database that includes not only bibliographical information on published materials, but also on conference proceedings and dissertations.

Ingenta Connect: Ingenta is the world's largest website for the search and delivery of research articles.

Academic Search Premier:  Academic Search Premier provides full text for over 4,700 academic, social sciences, humanities, general science, education and multi-cultural journals. This database is updated daily on EBSCOhost.

JSTOR is probably the largest on-line database of full-text articles that have previously been published in journals. 

Annual Review of Sociology publishes commissioned literature reviews and is a very good place to start for finding references.
