Abstract
Collection development for specific disciplines requires a comprehensive recognition of the idiosyncratic needs of each discipline. ldeally this recognition would be grounded in a well-developed model of information-seeking behavior that would take into account formal and informal channels of communication regardless of format. In an effort to extend understanding of social scientific collection' development requirements beyond traditional printed sources, this paper will discuss the evolution of data use in the social sciences and describe the growth of data archives for the social sciences to 1975
