ACRL Anthropology and Sociology Section

Dear colleagues,

I retired earlier this year after 40+ years helping build social science reference databases. As I deconstruct my home office, I find that I apparently have gathered a small collection of physical copies of social science thesauri over the years. If you or a colleague have an interest in any (or all😊) of these, I would be happy to send them on their way to you (USPS media mail). The list is below – feel free to share. Contact me off list/direct at jblaemers@cox.net with the title(s) you are interested in and a mailing address. First come, first served!
