Are you a social work major or a social work professor? We have a great resource for you to find social work research articles.
Social Work Abstracts, is a limited access database hosted through EBSCO available to you as a member of the Union Community. *Although this is a wonderful resource specifically related to social work, please note that only four people can use Social Work Abstracts at one time. If you are unable to access it, try again a little later. You can access Social Work Abstracts by going to the Finding Articles page of our Social Work Research Guide. You can also find it listed on the Databases, E-books, and Media quick link on the library’s homepage.
Social Work Abstracts has indexes and abstracts for articles in over 450 social work journals. Social Work Abstracts covers social work theory and practice for areas like education, human services, therapy, addiction, child and family welfare, mental health, and more. As an abstract database, you will find the summary and citation information for the articles but may have to go to a different database to get the full article. The library’s system should provide a link to accessing the article elsewhere or let you know it is only available through Interlibrary Loan. Clicking the full text finder option will give you a link for accessing the article. Clicking the request through Interlibrary Loan option will autofill the Interlibary Loan Request Form for you.
