The Social Science Library<https://socialsciencelibrary.org/> is an open-access resource containing complete bibliographic references for over 9,300 journal articles, book chapters, and working papers covering Anthropology, Economics, History, Political Science, Social Psychology, Sociology, and Philosophy. The SSL was developed with the goal of giving global attention to social science writings that are most likely to contribute to understanding and promotion of sustainability and human well-being. The selection represents classic articles and significant theoretical and applied research in these areas through to 2009; use of the SSL should therefore ideally be complemented with a separate search for more recent material.
The specific goals of the Social Science Library are:
* Furthering the development of the social sciences in the world’s less wealthy nations;
* Strengthening the ability of social scientists to influence their local policies; and
* Ensuring that global debates on the future of the human species increasingly include all voices.
The benefits from social science knowledge cannot be realized when access to existing literature is limited. For this reason, the SSL editors have made every effort to make the full text of as many articles and book chapters as possible available; where this is not possible, abstracts and complete references are presented.

The resource is a project of the Economics in Context Initiative at Boston University and The Global Development and Environment Institute at Tufts University and the Global Development Policy Center at Boston University.
