An inter-disciplinary Master of Arts in Latin American Studies is also planned, which would incorporate topics in anthropology and sociology. However, works on anthropological and social topics may be found in many other classifications. However, since many subjects in these fields do not include those terms, there are many books not included in that figure. The library has approximately 40 currently received serial titles that deal with anthropology or sociology. Approximately 85 serials were previously received, but have been either discontinued or cancelled.
Several titles have only short runs.
There were wholesale cancellations in 1993 of anthropology and sociology serials. The collection is predominantly in English, with Spanish as a second significant language for materials on Latin America. Some other major European languages are also represented, but in isolated instances. The library collects at the instructional level 3 in areas where the department has areas of emphasis, namely the U.S.-Mexico border region, Mexican Americans, the American Southwest and Mexico, Native Americans of the American Southwest and Mexico, criminology and deviance, sex and gender, demography, and archeology. The Government Documents, Special Collections, and microforms areas currently contain materials not yet on-line that have relevance to the areas of anthropology and sociology.
