Finding Books for Social Work

Books for social work are mainly shelved in the HV area on level 8 of the Central Library.  As social work is very interdisciplinary, material may also be found in BF (psychology), HM (sociology), R (medical) and J (political science) sections. 

Recommended reading may be in the High Demand collection.

Most of the recent books are in electronic format and can be found by searching MultiSearch
