Scope: Sociology may be defined as the study
of social life and behavior as well as social systems such as complex
organizations, communities, and societies. (Johnson, Allan G. The
Blackwell Dictionary of Sociology) The purpose of this pathfinder is to
serve as a guideline for student research. It is not intended as a
comprehensive listing of all materials available on this topic in the
library, but as a selective sampling of the many types of resources
available.
