Economics (General)

Economics research can be very interconnected with topics in other disciplines. However, class H of the Library of Congress classification system (the organization system of Tisch's physical collections) is devoted to Social Sciences, of which Economics is one. For those of you who are in the Quantitative Economics major or who are interested in Quantitative Economics, class Q (Science) may also have some useful sections for your research.

Not sure where the books are in the library? Check out the library map below or ask at the front desk.

Note: The Library of Congress classification and subject headings systems are large and complex systems subject to government approval, and as a result, sometimes the process to update the classifications and subject headings to their most current terms, especially those pertaining to race, gender, and sexuality, can be slow. Please feel free to ask a librarian more about how the classification and subject headings systems are structured, their biases, and current efforts to improve the terminology within them.
