CJS and Sociology Resources

Welcome to Your "Research Homepage"

Welcome to the CJS & Sociology Resources LibGuide!  A LibGuide is like a website and this LibGuide has been specifically designed to help CJS and Sociology students with their research. You will find links to academic journals and databases, general resources you can use for background research, and tips & tricks for effective research.

If you have any questions along the way, you can email a Librarian (there is a link in the left menu of every page!) for help.
