A "sociological tour through cyberspace:" http: www.trinity.edu/~mkearl/index.html
There are a lot of different links to different social science websites. It would be especially useful to those wanting to learn more about Sociology or even to someone who wants to learn more about a particular subject in social science.
Adult education/continuing: http://home.about.com/education/adulted/index.htm
I chose this social science website because they give you a wide variety of fields for education, arts, history, languages, literature, etc.
Bureau of Labor Statistics: http://stats.bls.gov
One student writes: I like this site because there are all sorts of interesting statistics and information about dozens of things. The site is easy to use and easy to understand for beginners. Also, the Bureau of Labor Statistics Home Page can connect you to other statistical websites that are extremely useful if you cannot find exactly what you're looking for.
Another says: This site is useful for accessing governmental documents that contain economics statistics on major cities, various definitions of governmental documents, industry, drugs, to economy. This site is used for the documentation of labor and other economic related topics so the general public can access it. It is a very important site because I think that when studying social sciences, considering the economy and labor is very important if not necessary.
Kids Count: http://www.aecf.org/kidscount
Kids Count's function is to provide a national state-by-state effort to track the status of children within the United States. It offers an on line database which offers the best available data to measure the educational, social, economic, and physical well-being of children. The on line data base also allows you to generate graphs, maps, ranked list, and state by state profiles.
WORLD SOCIOLOGY: http://www.henryford.cc.mi.us/linklist/web_sociology.html
This web site can help with papers because it links to Sociological Resources. Center for research, organizations, etc. It also contains search engines that can be helpful as well. It is a very interesting site!
National Labor Committee: http://www.nlcnet.org
This is the site of the National Labor Committee. This site educates people on worker and human rights violations. It also provides updates on these violations and certain multinationals. These are multinationals such as Nike, Disney, and Wal-Mart.
National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence: http://www.ncadd.org
This site provides information on drugs and alcohol addiction. The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence mission is to provide help and hope for those suffering from these addictions. It provides information on interventions as well as research on alcoholism and drug dependence. It services alcoholics, family members, children/teens, the media, government and the medical community.
U.S. Department of Justice: http://www.usdoj.gov
It includes the FBI, DEA, and U.S. Marshall's most wanted. Topics concerning justice for the nations youth are explored. Also, various publications and documents and even employment opportunities are posted.
http://www.abacon.com/socwk/quiz
This site will help you if you are planning a career in the field of social work. It gives you the credentials you will need and it gives you information on education classes. There is even information on how to apply for social work jobs.
http://dir.yahoo.com/social_science/employment
This site contained links to job search resources for social workers such as find a job, resume resources, e-mail notification of new jobs posted...etc.
http://www.lib.cmich.edu/databases/#socsci
This site is a good place to do research on sociology. It is real easy to use and no other web site seem to give me exactly what I wanted (right away) to research on but this does.
U.S. Bureau of the Census: http://www.census.gov
The web site of the Census Bureau has many facts on populations of cities, counties, states, metropolitan areas. Data are broken down by race, age, and many other factors. It also provides population growth predictions, but alas, does not delve into the obviously political motivations into why the current, politically appointed director of the census bureau wants to eliminate enumeration as a prerequisite for conducting the census. Although it is a very useful site, it also contains much propaganda.
Another student says: It is useful to find out the
population for the whole world or to find the population for a city.
It is very useful to learn more about things like poverty, statistics,
etc. And you can go to related sites in this website. It is
just an interesting website to look into
if you want to know more about the United States.
Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu
There are many reasons why I like this page. It is very concise and easy to use. This webpage is also located on the Central Michigan's library web page. Because it is available on Central Michigan's web page it makes me more confident of its usefulness. There is so much garbage on the web, and I am sure that this site provides accurate links to sources of social science data.
Dead Sociologists Society: http://www.runet.edu/~lridener/DSS/DEADSOC.HTML
Gives detailed information on many of the significant sociological minds of our history. The page includes general biographical information as well as detailed descriptions and explanations of the ideas of these great thinkers. The page also features excerpts or entire manuscripts from some of these sociologists' most important works. In addition, there are links to the ASA homepage, the Social Science Scout Report, and many, many other interesting sites.
Helps you locate high quality sites on the Internet, which are relevant
to social science education and research.
