Humanities & Social Sciences Collections

The books, journals, government publications, electronic resources, maps and atlases, and microforms in the collection support the study, teaching, and research needs of the students and faculty in the humanities and social sciences.

Areas Koerner covers include Anthropology, English, Geography, History, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Social Work, Theatre, and many more. For a full list of subject areas and the Subject Librarian for that area, visit Humanities and Social Sciences Division Subject Librarians.

The HSS collection is housed in both Koerner Library and Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, with the majority of materials in Koerner Library.

We have a strong and quickly growing collection of online resources, including journals, ebook collections, databases, and data.

Developing the Collection

Librarians in the Humanities and Social Sciences division are involved in selecting material for the collection.
