Sociology Websites

As you've read in the Evaluating Information guide, websites with a .gov or .org domain are considered scholarly. Although this guide offers eBooks that cover a wide range of aspects of social science, we have included a list of government (.gov) and professional organization (.org) websites below to help you further your knowledge. If you plan on using the information from one of these websites for an assignment, make sure to check the rubric or ask your instructor to see if this type of information source is acceptable.
