Current Awareness Resources

CQ Researcher

The award-winning The CQ Researcher explores a single "hot" issue in the news in depth each week. Topics range from social and teen issues to environment, health, education and science and technology. There are 44 reports produced each year including four expanded reports. The CQ Researcher's hallmark is scrupulous objectivity and balance. Every 12,000-word report is written by an experienced journalist and features comments from experts, lawmakers and citizens on all sides of every issue. Numerous charts, graphs and sidebar articles -- plus a pro-con feature, a chronology, lengthy bibliographies and a list of contacts -- round out each report.

Ingenta

A database of article information taken from over 18,000 journals that allows faxing of articles not owned by AU Libraries. Available to AU faculty, graduate students and staff.

Internet Sites for the Sociologist: This is a link is to Auburn University's Sociology Resources on the Internet page.
Center for Demography and Ecology (CDE) Working Papers [.pdf, .ps]: The CDE at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is "a multi-disciplinary faculty research cooperative for social scientific demographic research whose membership includes sociologists, rural sociologists, economists, and historians." CDE research focuses "on population composition and distribution within the United States, especially on changes in family structure and process and social inequality, but the total range of research and training activities of CDE members is far broader in content and scope." This page features two working paper series: CDE papers and National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH) papers. Selected papers (Adobe Acrobat [.pdf] and PostScript) are avialable online, but ordering information is provided and available abstracts may be viewed without special software.
Dead Sociologist Index: The Dead Sociologists Index compiles brief biographies of sixteen famous sociologists, summarizes their important contributions to sociology, and provides excerpts of their original work. Some of the expired sociological theorists included in the index are Jane Addams, W.E.B. Du Bois, Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, and Thorstein Veblen. Larry R. Ridener, the creator of the index, intends to expand this site, include more dead sociologists, and develop a small digital library of sociological resources.
