Reference & Background
The BEOS offers concise, expert definitions and explanations of the key concepts written by leading scholars in the field, including several UT faculty. It provides a comprehensive survey of 33 editorial areas, each of which represents a major area of inquiry within sociology. Entries range from short definitions of key terms to extended explorations of major topics. BEOS covers both classical sociology and contemporary developments in the field, with introductions to sociological theories and research that have developed outside of the United States and Western Europe.
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. Every report is written by an experienced journalist and features comments from experts, lawmakers and citizens on all sides of every issue with numerous charts, graphs and sidebar articles.
Ecyclopedias and specialized reference sources that are full-text and searchable across all files. Hint: limit the target audience to "academic" and choose one or more subject areas to target your search.
