Library Support - Sociology Unit Review
SUMMARY
This review of library support for Sociology reveals a sociology collection that meets the general research and
teaching needs of the students and faculty. In addition, the Library provides strong liaison support for the library
research needs of the undergraduate and graduate students, and faculty.
Despite the general strength of the sociology collection, there is room for growth in the four sociology department
areas of concentrations; Criminology, Deviance and Social Control, Gender, Family and Work, Ethnicity,
Immigration and Multiculturalism, and Sociology of Health, as well as qualitative and quantitative methodology.
Although quite strong in comparison with benchmarked institutions, the sociology collection is weaker than its peer
institutions in three areas of concentrations. Overall, the University of Calgary Library has purchased less than 50%
of the total number of published English-language titles in the four areas of concentration, well below the 80%-90%1
recommended for graduate level research. Although the sociology collection draws significantly on resources
purchased through other funds, maintaining and strengthening the collection should not rely on these additional
sources of funding. Therefore, funds for the sociology monograph collection should increase by $42,000 and funds
for sociology serials increase by $6100.
Although information literacy is available in some sociology courses, the delivery and design is not addressed
equally in all courses, or even multiple sections of the same course. The Department of Sociology might consider
reviewing the Information Literacy Standards for Anthropology and Sociology Students 2
(http://www.asanet.org/galleries/pubinfo/ALA%20Information%20Literacy%20Standards.pdf), which were
endorsed on August 14, 2006 by the Council of the American Sociological Association.
The Library is positioned to continue its support of the Department of Sociology's goals: to maintain the
department's standing as one of the top five research departments of sociology in Canada, establish the department
as the premier sociology department in Canada for Ph.D.-level training in both qualitative and quantitative methods,
increase the department's research capacity in Criminology, recruit high-quality graduate students in Criminology,
Sociology of Health, and Ethnicity, Immigration and Multiculturalism, and increase the enrollment of undergraduate
students by 2000 students by 2009-2010. (Department of Sociology Strategic Plan, 2006-2010 (Oct. 15, draft)).
INTRODUCTION
The Liaison Librarian for Sociology and the Sociology collection at the University of Calgary Library supports the
curricular and research needs of the students and faculty of the Sociology Department and provides support across
the university to a broad base of learning and research in the area of sociology.
The undergraduate program offers a BA and BA Honours in Sociology with four optional concentrations;
Criminology, Deviance and Social Control, Gender, Family and Work, Ethnicity, Immigration and Multiculturalism,
and Sociology of Health. A BA and BA Honours in Sociology Co-operative education Programs is also available.
The Sociology Department offers a Master of Arts (MA) and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
Sociology Focus:
"The Department of Sociology offers a wide range of courses that cover the diverse approaches and topics that make
up the discipline of sociology. In all of our courses, faculty attempt to make sociology come alive with strategic
illustrations from their own work and from the research of sociologists from around the world. By bringing cuttingedge research to bear on explaining social life at every level from face-to-face interactions to global social
processes, we hope to make sociology as intellectually exciting and engaging for students as we find it. By paying
attention to "real-world" applications, we also hope to make it clear that sociology is more than a set of ideas - it is
an activity or practice." (Sociology Department Explicit Syllabus, http://www.soci.ucalgary.ca).

COLLECTION ASSESSMENT
Monographs
Monographs are vital for teaching, research and study in sociology. It is important to have a collection of
specialized materials with historic depth as well as a well-developed collection of core readings to support the
sociology department's strong graduate programs.
Although sociology is a focused area of study, it is connected closely to many other academic areas of study.
Reflecting this connection, the sociology collection is supported by the Sociology monograph fund as well as many
additional funds (see Table 1). In 2005, $112,981 was spent on monographs; of which $30,209 came from the base
sociology fund and $82,772 (75%) came from other funds such as Social Sciences, and general library funds.
General library funds include purchases for the reference collection, reserve course readings, and most significantly,
publisher approval plans. Table 1 shows a moderate increase in the base sociology fund from 2001 to 2005 but a
significant increase in the number of sociology monographs purchased through the general Library fund. Other
library funds, outside of the Sociology fund are important in developing the sociology collection. The 2005
expenditures for sociology monographs represents close to a 100% increase over the 2001 expenditures.

The number of titles purchased in sociology areas, has almost doubled over the last five years (see Figure 2). This
increase in sociology-related subject areas is most likely due to the expansion of the publisher approval plans from
Cambridge University Press and Oxford University Press in 2004, the extension of this plan to include 23 other key
publishers in 2005 and a Canadian approval plan purchasing scholarly Canadian monographs. By purchasing more
monographs from core academic publishers, the sociology fund can acquire more titles that are specialized.
The University of Calgary has also added electronic book collections that strengthen the sociology collection.
Ebrary – Academic Complete and Ebrary – Canada Health Collection provide access to over 325 titles in sociology,
health and other areas.

Due to the increase in purchased titles in 2005, the University of Calgary purchased more than 50% of monographs
published in sociology and related fields (see Appendix 1). Using data from Yankee Book Peddler (YBP) Library
Services (a major vendor of English language academic books), Appendix 1 indicates that 56% of all sociology titles
published (from relevant subject areas) were purchased by the University of Calgary. Appendix 1 shows that certain
subject areas are under-represented (Criminology, Medical Sociology and Work & Family). The most evident
example is Medical Sociology with just 35% of published titles purchased.
To determine further the strength of the sociology monograph collection, the sociology collection was compared to
four peer institutions with comparable sociology departments (See Figure 3). The following institutions were used
as benchmarks; McMaster University, University of Western Ontario, Queen's University and the University of
Manitoba. In addition, the University of Toronto was included since it has the largest university library collection in
Canada. The library catalogues of the six institutions were searched using Library of Congress Subject Headings to
represent the sociology department's areas of concentrations. Figure 3 shows that of its peer institutions, the
University of Calgary has the most number of titles purchased since 2001 in the subject area of social medicine.

The following table (see Table 2) shows that the University of Calgary collection, overall, is ahead of McMaster
University, Queen's University, and the University of Manitoba in total number of titles purchased in the sampled
subject areas. The University of Calgary collection is close to the University of Western Ontario but trails the
University of Toronto.

The University of Calgary monograph collection can further develop its core areas of specialization and requires an
increase in funds. Appendix 2 illustrates the value of all titles published by YBP versus those purchased by the
University of Calgary over the last five years in sociology and sociology-related fields. Using 80% of all titles
published as a benchmark to support graduate level research, the sociology collection falls short in Family,
Marriage, Women and Sexual Life by $25,000, in Criminology by approximately $13,000, in Medical Sociology by
$2500, and in Work & Family by $1400. The total shortfall of all the sociology subject areas listed in Appendix 2 is
approximately $97,500. To support rising undergraduate and graduate enrollments, and to address the deficiencies
in core areas of concentration, funds for sociology monographs needs to increase by $42,000. This will allow the
University of Calgary to maintain the general sociology monograph collection and purchase more specialized
sociology titles.

Journals
Unlike monograph expenditures, approximately two-thirds of the expenditures (see Figure 1) for sociology journals
come through other funds, including the central electronic resources budget. The primary serials allocation for the
Sociology fund was $33,257 (29%) in 2005. $34,527 was allocated through the E-journals fund while another
$45,921 was allocated through other funds. Overall, $113,705 was spent on sociology and sociology-related funds.

The purchases of journal aggregator packages such as Blackwell Synergy, JSTOR, Science Direct, Project Muse,
Springer Link and Sage have greatly increased the holdings of journals relevant to Sociology. Figure 4 shows the
distribution of sociology-related journal titles by source of funding for 2005. 111 print sociology titles are paid from
the Sociology fund, 315 from the E-journal fund and 152 electronic titles come from other funds.

Strength Assessment of Journal Holdings
A sample of 232 English-language, scholarly, refereed journals in the area of sociology was drawn from
Ulrichsweb.com (the most comprehensive listing of journal information available). The University of Calgary
Library’s holdings for these titles were compared against the holdings of nine other institutions with an FTE over
20,000.3 In this analysis, titles held by many libraries are assumed to be core journals, while those held by fewer
libraries are assumed to be more specialized.
3 The holdings of the peer libraries are as of 2004. There are nine institutions in the 20,000+ 4yr category all being at the Doctoral/Research level in the Carnegie Classification.
All are North American schools, three are Canadian. The names of the institutions are not available. More information is available at:
http://www.ulrichsweb.com/ulrichsweb/analysis/itemlocationdetail.asp?catalog=PEERS&listpeer=654744&issn=0001-8899&serial_uid=41185&

Table 3 shows the distribution of University of Calgary holdings against those of peer libraries. The distribution for
sociology journals is unusual, as there are a large number of titles (31) held by nine peer libraries. Normally, there
are proportionately fewer titles held by nine libraries. Overall, the University of Calgary subscribes to 108 of 116
journals held by two or more peer institutions, and subscribes to 26 journals not held by any peer institutions. This
indicates that sociology as a discipline has a relatively large core, with a smaller selection of specialized; less widely
held titles than many other disciplines. While the distribution is unexpected, our holdings appear to be very strong,
suitable for advanced work in the field.

Number of Libraries
The American Sociologist is the most notable title missing from the University of Calgary collection, despite being
widely held by the peer libraries. This title is available at the University of Calgary electronically but it is
embargoed (publisher does not provide full-text content access to recent volumes or issues). To ensure current
access, the library should consider a subscription to this journal. The 2006 subscription cost for this journal is $400.
In 2005-2006, the average annual subscription of sociology journals (those with sociology as a Library of Congress
Subject Heading) increased 9%4 in 2005-2006. Table 4 shows the yearly percentage increase of sociology journals
since 2002. In 2007 for example, Social Indicators Research will increase by $1700 US and Journal of Family
Violence will increase by $650 CDN. To maintain a strong sociology journal collection, purchase new titles, and
extend subscriptions of embargoed titles, funds to purchase sociology and sociology-related journals should increase
by a minimum of 9%, or $61005.

Other Resources
Electronic Databases
The two primary article indexes that cover the field of sociology are Sociological Abstracts and SocINDEX. These
two databases are sufficient to meet the core research needs of the faculty and students. To support these core
research needs, the faculty and students have access to over 550 electronic databases, many of them with high
quality indexing and abstracting, including National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS), Medline, Family
& Gender Studies Worldwide, Bibliography of Native North Americans. One missing database is Criminal Justice
Abstracts. The content of this database requires closer evaluation to determine if the databases currently subscribed
to sufficiently cover this area.
Academic Data
Academic data is a key aspect of sociological study. In addition to a strong data collection, students are supported
with dedicated computers, reference consultation, identification of datafiles and statistics, extraction assistance, use
of software interfaces, referrals to the Prairie Regional Research Data Centre, and referrals to statistical consultants.

Document Delivery
There has been a steady decrease in photocopied articles and borrowed books since 2001/2002 (see Table 5). The
decrease in photocopies most likely reflects the increased resources available electronically while the decrease in
borrowed monographs reflects the increase in the number of sociology monographs purchased Although the
statistics are not presented here, another potential indicator of the strength of the sociology collection is the increase
in loans of sociology materials to other institutions. The University of Calgary Library should monitor these
outgoing loans; however, to ensure key sociology monographs are not circulating continuously at other institutions
and are unavailable for the sociology faculty and students. If so, either additional copies or more monographs
within those subject areas should be purchased.

SERVICES
Information Literacy Instruction
Information Literacy is the ability to recognize a need for information and to be able to access, locate, evaluate and
use information appropriately. The Sociology liaison librarian and the Social Science data librarian offer coursebased instruction on the information search process, research skills, information sources and the organization of
sociology literature to undergraduate and graduate students.
During the last two academic years, the following undergraduate courses have received varying degrees of
information literacy instruction. The subject librarian involved in the course is in parentheses.
SOCI 311 - Introductory Social Statistics I (data librarian)
SOCI 313 - Introduction to Social Research Methods (sociology librarian)
SOCI 345 - Mass Communication (sociology librarian)
SOCI 377 - Sociology of Religion (religious studies librarian)
SOCI 411 - Graphic Presentation of Sociological Data (data librarian)
SOCI 429 - The Sociology of Law (law librarian)
SOCI 471 - Special Topics in the Sociology of Family (data librarian)
The entry-level course Sociology 201, due to very large enrollment numbers, does not require a writing component.
This makes Sociology 311 and 313 critical entry points for introducing sociology majors to information literacy
concepts, skills, tools and resources. The Department of Sociology should consider reviewing the Information
Literacy Standards for Anthropology and Sociology Students (draft) from the Anthropology and Sociology Section
(ANSS) of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) draft document and identify whether these
standards are addressed in their courses, and in consultation with the sociology liaison librarian, develop, and
implement an integrated curriculum. In addition, better coordination between the involved librarians would also
contribute to the successful delivery of information literacy.
Consultations
To support the teaching and research environment at the University of Calgary, the liaison librarian offers
consultations by appointment for faculty and, graduate and undergraduate students. These consultations provide
one-on-one support for undergraduate and graduate students, and faculty, to become more knowledgeable and
effective users of the library services, resources and tools.
Sociology Department Meetings and Special Events
The liaison librarian regularly attends the Department of Sociology departmental meetings and special events, such
as COSEP (Committee on Scholarly Events and Presentations). Regular attendance helps the liaison librarian
respond to department needs, increases the library's awareness of sociology research and teaching areas, and builds
strong relationships with the faculty.
Library News for Sociology
To serve the Sociology faculty and students better, the liaison librarian for Sociology created the "Library News for
Sociology" weblog (http://soclibrarynews.blogspot.com/). This weblog includes news about new electronic
resources, new purchases, changes to electronic access and any relevant library information to the sociology
community at the University of Calgary.

FUTURE CONCERNS AND ISSUES
Collections Budget
Although there has been a significant improvement in the number of monograph titles purchased, a substantial
increase in the monographs budget is necessary to support fully the four areas of concentration in sociology at the
University of Calgary. While the electronic journal packages have increased the available journal holdings, the
yearly rise in journal costs not only makes maintaining the current collection challenging but makes adding new
subscriptions difficult as well. To meet these challenges, the monograph and serials budgets will need to be
increased, the monographs budget by $42,000 and serials fund by $6100.
Technology / Research Skills
To access information, especially resources available through the library, requires familiarity and skill with
technology that makes this access possible. As more and more resources become available electronically, it is
increasingly important that researchers and students understand how to use the tools effectively. To avoid
frustration and to prevent these tools becoming a barrier to successful research, ongoing training is required. This
requires continued and expanded support for information literacy initiatives using inquiry-based and blended
learning methods of instruction.
