| contents | The Social Science Bibliographer as Detective: Selection Strategies for the Social Sciences. Shapiro, Beth J. Academic Libraries Cataloging Higher Education Library Acquisition Library Collections Library Material Selection Reference Materials Social Sciences This paper equates the variety of methods a social science bibliographer must use to build a useful and valuable research collection with the multiple approaches employed by detectives to solve crimes. Before presenting a sampling of strategies used by social science bibliographers, the paper defines the core disciplines of the social sciences (sociology, anthropology, psychology, political science, geography, economics, history); suggests numerous applied social science fields (law, business and management, education, social work, urban planning, and criminal justice); and discusses multi-disciplinary fields (ethnic studies, women's studies, communication arts, and policy sciences). The bibliographic structure of the social science literature is briefly discussed and a more detailed review of tools to be used in the selection and acquisition of library materials is provided. This section is divided by types of materials: monographs, periodicals, proceedings and conference papers, alternative and non-traditional materials, and government publications and report literature.
