Behavioral & Social Sciences Librarian focuses on the production, collection, organization, dissemination, retrieval, and use of information in the social and behavioral sciences.

The Journal welcomes original research from a variety of disciplines, including the core fields of anthropology, sociology, economics, psychology, communication studies, education, political science, and those parts of history relying on social scientific methods and approaches—language and area studies and the study of special populations, such as Latin American studies, ethnic studies, and women's studies.
