Development of Social Sciences A Librarian’s Companion The present book entitled, “Development of Social Sciences: A Librarian’s Companion” is an attempt to study the fundamental concept of the umbrella term `Social Science' which normally consist of four basic disciplines namely Political Science, Economics, Sociology and History though at a later stage the multidisciplinary approaches have widened the scope of social science thereby resulted into the inclusion of several disciplines which in one context or the other are directly related to the study of human beings. The present effort intends to study the role of social science contributors, organizations, institutions, documentation centers and the social science information sources available in the context of the development of social science disciplines. The book is divided into five chapters namely (i) Social Science: An Overview (ii) Social Science Contributors (iii) Social Science organizations and institutions (iv) National Documentation Centers in Social Sciences and (v) Information Sources in Social Science. The book will be useful to the students pursuing the studies in the field of library and information science, teachers involved in teaching the course which involves the teaching of multidisciplinary content especially the social science vis-à-vis libraries as well as by all those who wants to study and do research the role of libraries and their contribution in the growth and development of social science disciplines.
