Approximately 2500 journals in 30 different languages from about 55 countries are scanned for inclusion, covering sociological topics in fields such as anthropology, economics, education, medicine, community development, philosophy, demography, political science, and social psychology. Links to full text are provided where available, and can be accessed by clicking on the Old Well "Find @ UNC" icon.

Family and Society Studies Worldwide
This database combines three different indexes covering the relationship between family and society: Family and Society Studies; 1970 to present, National Clearinghouse on Family Violence, Health Canada, and the U.S. Military Family Resource Center Documents Database.
