Books
Books are good sources for topic overviews and substantial background material on a topic, but they do not necessarily provide the most current information.
- UT Library Catalog
For books containing public opinion or information about polls and survey research consult the UT Catalog using the following subjects:- public opinion
- public opinion polls
- public opinion research
- social surveys
- market surveys
- election forecasting
It is also possible to use the subdivision PUBLIC OPINION under names of individual person, corporate bodies, or topical subjects (i.e. taxation--public opinion). Works on polls taken in a specific place are assigned an additional heading (i.e public opinion-- southern states).
