Finding information on Social and Behavioral Sciences in the UAE |
Some areas of Social and Behavioral Sciences in the UAE are difficult to find up-to-date or public information about, for example some statistical, banking or planning information. Some information is also only available in one language.

Use the following keywords when searching in the Library Catalog and in article databases: |
| |
- culture, social conditions, education, politics, government, globalization, demographics, population, international relations, economics, (to name a few)
|
| |
- "United Arab Emirates" or UAE or Emirates. Depending on the subject, you might need to use broader terms such as "Middle East" or Gulf.
|

- search for specific dates or date ranges wherever possible

There are hundreds of articles from journals available (mostly full-text) when you use the 'Advanced Search Screen' and look for "United Arab Emirates" as a 'geographic term' and any of the topic keywords as above, as a 'subject'. Use the 'Company Profiles' tab at the top of the Home page to look for extensive company information too.
