Social Science Information Sources and Services
This elective course is normally taught every other Fall term, alternating with the government information sources and services course.
The social science disciplines included are anthropology, business/economics, education, political science, sociology, psychology, geography, and history. This is a course with much breadth, but little depth.
Course requirements include responses to problem sets involving a variety of sources, and creation of a pathfinder. Problem set responses are discussed in class.
The course is most likely to interest those planning a career in reference work, especially in research libraries. However, the course material should also interest those who will work in larger public libraries.
All course materials are available at this website. Some lecture notes may not be revised until the course is taught or just before a topic is presented.
