Research Rescue Navigation

Social Work Students:

Do you need help with your term paper or research project? If so, welcome to the Social Work Library's "Research Rescue!" Here you'll find web pages created by Social Work Library staff specifically for SSW courses. Research Rescue will direct you to relevant print or online resources to help you complete your class assignments and will help you develop necessary information-seeking skills. If you don't find what you need, look through the Research Rescue archive, which is organized by broad course topic. In addition, you'll find some useful guides for many social work-specific resources and subject areas, in the Social Work Library Research Tips & Aids section. For details on scheduling a consultation with a librarian about your research topic, see the Individual Research Consultation page.
