Two members of our Sociology and Anthropology Department have requested free trial access to the new online journal Cultural Sociology, which began publication with the March 2007 issue. The journal is described here.

Leyburn Library is unable to secure an institution-wide trial for W&L, but any individual researcher may set up his/her own access by registering with the publisher, Sage.

To register for access, go to this page and follow the instructions to set up your own password-protected account.

If you have questions or comments, please contact me directly or use the "Comments" option below.

Leyburn Library has created an online guide designed to help participants in the 2008 Democratic Mock Convention "monitor news, track public opinion, find information on candidates, retrieve data and articles, and perform other research."

The guide, which likely will be updated often in the coming months, is available here.
