This system can be searched by author, title, subject, journal title, or key word. Help in using the online catalog is available onscreen and at the Reference Desk. The University Library's books are arranged by the Library of Congress classification system. The reference collection not only has general encyclopedias and dictionaries such as the World Book Encyclopedia and Webster's Dictionary, but also has many specialized encyclopedias and dictionaries as well. Other reference works include directories, statistical sources, and bibliographies.
Many indexes are subject-specific, while some are very general in nature.
Be sure to check the library catalog by searching for the title of the journal to see if the Library has the journals you need and where they are located. Many of the Internet-accessible indexes the UNH Library subscribes to are limited to use by UNH faculty, students, and staff. Read these instructions for more information about accessing such restricted databases from outside the library. While the above indexes are the ones most often used in identifying research materials on sociology topics, additional online indexes as well as print indexes are available for other areas of interest such as public policy, communications, and business and other types of material such as newspapers, general interest magazines, and legal resources. They are not accessible through the Internet or by modem.
