SOC3490: Sociology of Adulthood: Books & Encyclopedias

Search Everything: Find Books & Media, Articles, and More!

Getting Started

When looking for books or media, you'll want to start with the Search All option, our all-in-one-search tool.  Search All combines our Books & Media search with most of our Databases, allowing you to find articles, books, and other resources, all in one search!

Enter simple terms or concepts, rather than long phrases and questions.  For example, use terms like “gender” or “free trade” rather than “gender discrimination at work/glass ceiling”.  In this case, less is better…  Too many terms make it harder to find resources!

Combine more than one term or concept to narrow your results, and use the different limits on the results page to narrow even more.

And, if you're off campus, be sure to Log In to make sure you can easily access the materials you find!

eBooks & Streaming Video

While searching the catalog, you'll find a number of books and videos with a location of Internet Resource, and a link in place of the call number.
