The Social Sciences Interdisciplinary collection was developed to identify and purchase materials that do not specifically fall under a single social sciences guideline, but tend to cross over several subject areas.
Research is supported through the doctoral level.
Monographs and serials are purchased, generally for publications written in English. The serials collection is very limited, covering major cross-disciplinary social sciences topics. Reference materials are included, especially those whose cost would be prohibitive for any one guideline to purchase. Electronic formats, including CD-Roms and floppy disks, are given consideration. Top priority is given to social policy issues, as well as social science research methodology.
