CQ Researcher
is often the first source that librarians recommend when researchers are
seeking original, comprehensive reporting and analysis on issues in the
news. Founded in 1923 as Editorial Research Reports, CQ Researcher is
noted for its in-depth, unbiased coverage of health, social trends, criminal
justice, international affairs, education, the environment, technology, and
the economy. Reports are published weekly in print and online 44 times a
year by CQ Press, a division of Congressional Quarterly Inc.

Periodicals
Use the electronic databases to find references to
periodical articles on specific topics. If you find a
reference to an article in a database that is not full-text,
then check the all titles
list to see if we have it in hard copy. If we do
not have it in hard copy than you may order it through
interlibrary loan.
As an alternative to looking for
articles on specific topics you may wish to browse a particular
sociology journal to get ideas for topics, to see what a journal
looks like, or you may just want to read your favorite sociology
journal from cover to cover. You can browse journals by title
online or by coming to Brown Library and reading the hard copy
subscriptions. Here is a list of our hard copy
