I am a college student and am going to graduate this summer. In order to write my BA thesis, I plan to visit your library next month for some reference books.
Do you have a good collection of books in the area of sociology? I would like to have some information about recent developments in sociological research and about the new theories put forward by researchers and scholars in this field. Do you have recently published books from foreign countries?
Can you also provide the following information: the opening and closing times of your library, the type of catalogue that is in use, the number of books that can be borrowed at one time, and for how long readers can keep the books?
