If you want to do any serious sociology, you need a dictionary (or two). My personal favourite for all social sciences is: The Collins Dictionary of Sociology (Paperback) by David and Julia Jary. A relatively good on-line Sociology Dictionary is available from Athabasca University [here].
I found this site when looking for a good primer on Social Structures. This one covers social structure as well as macro and micro sociology, giving a very clear definition of these two different "levels of analysis". The page is located [here].
The above site is actually a subpage of Russel Long's Academic Page (Sociology) from Del Mar College. I think "Russ's" introductory sociology notes are a seriously good primer for ANYONE wanting a concise review of what Sociology is, and the concepts that are important. As well, Russ often references the same first-year textbook that I recommended for you (Sociology, A Down-to-Earth Approach), so if you are using that it is a nice summary.
"The Chicago Manual of Style Online incorporates the popular Chicago Style Q&A, a resource that thousands have found as entertaining as it is informative. The Q&A content is fully searchable along with the content of The Chicago Manual of Style. Your queries will return results—clearly distinguishable—from both the Manual and the Chicago Style Q&A...."
Turabian Style. This is a fairly common style in the Social Sciences that is based on a particular application of the Chicago style, some say a bit simpler and cleaner. Here is one link among many (if you Google this) that can help you to format your paper using this style.
