Finding Books at Tisch

Sociology research can be very interdisciplinary. 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 Sociology is one.

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

Select sections which may be the most helpful to you when looking for books and some eBooks:

  • HM is General Sociology
  • HN is Social history and conditions, Social problems, and Social reform
  • HQ is The Family, Marriage, and Women
  • HT is Communities, Classes, and Races
  • HV is Social pathology, Social and public welfare, and Criminology

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.
