Welcome to the University Libraries guide to the Sociology of Food at URI! Here, you'll learn how to find information through the library, from books to journal articles to quality online resources.

Use the tabs to navigate this guide, and don't hesitate to ask a librarian if you need extra help.

Not sure where to start? Feeling overwhelmed? Librarians are available to help with any stage in your research process! You can talk to us in person, reach out anonymously via live chat, or send us an email! 

Many of the materials in this guide (especially on the Historical Cookbooks, Recipes, & Menu page and the Online Collections of Food & Food Culture) are publicly available. This means that they are available to access without an institutional login.

You should look for the little green "A" icon to identify things that are accessible. 

 - Free Resource: All Can Access
