Offers deep discipline and comprehensive coverage

Thorough subject coverage is needed by researchers, particularly for interdisciplinary study. This collection offers deep discipline coverage in applied social sciences, sociology, political science, criminal justice, education, and linguistics and language behavior.

Provides international scope

The collection gives researchers a global perspective as a majority of the titles are published outside of North America. In addition, 20 percent of the content is published in languages other than English. Valuable and simple to manage, the collection is a cost-effective way for libraries to provide access to expansive content to social science departments. As a single resource, the collection is easy to promote and therefore increases usage.

Offers rounded access to pertinent literature

In addition to journal articles, end users can access full-text dissertations and working papers. Full-text content includes over 2,400 full-text titles (over 1,700 active full text), predominantly scholarly journals; and over 24,000 full-text dissertations covering criminology, education, political science, and sociology.

Provides truly reliable and relevant content

The collection contains A&I databases renowned for their value to social sciences research, including Sociological Abstracts, considered to be “more inherently reliable and authoritative” compared to the nearest comparative database. More than 13,000 titles are currently indexed, providing over 17 million records for comprehensive social science research.
