The Library
The Library of the Center for Sociological Research is open to all users over 18 years of age who need to use its resources and services; preferably teachers, researchers, and students.
The collection began in 1963 with the creation of the IOP (Institute of Public Opinion), the seed of the current CIS. Since then, its primary function has been to develop, safeguard, and disseminate the CIS's bibliographic collection and support the organization's research and teaching work. To this end, it maintains a comprehensive bibliographic collection, including both monographs and periodicals, specializing primarily in sociology and political science.
