INTRODUCTION ![]() The Social Sciences Resource Center (SSRC) occupies most of the first floor of the Bing Wing and includes the Jonsson Library of Government Documents. It is the focus of the Libraries' collections, resources, and services in support of advanced social science research at Stanford. The SSRC is home to library staff engaged in building and interpreting social science and government documents collections. The Center also houses within its reading room a reference collection of approximately 15,000 volumes. Selected journals, newsletters, new books, and classics in the field can be browsed from the comfort of a variety of seating options. The Center serves as the focal point on campus for specialized computing facilities and support services in the social sciences, including the Social Sciences Data Service housed in the Velma Denning Room, and the Statistical Applications Consulting group. The Velma Denning Room is made possible by the generosity of Barbara Denning Finberg, AB '49, and Robert Denning, AB '53 & MBA '55. The SSRC is located directly beneath the Humanities and Area Studies Resource Center (HASRC), which is housed in the Lane Reading Room. The two centers are connected by an internal staircase, enabling faculty and students to easily move between these areas and the services they provide.
