The Library of Congress sections for social
work topics are:
HV SOCIAL WORK
Terms can be checked
within dictionaries, encyclopedias, and subject-specific indexes (Social Work
Abstracts).
Once you know your topic, when choosing keywords it's always a good idea to start broad and pare down. An excellent strategy for this is to take the exact words directly out of the table of contents. As an example, try cutting and pasting these keyword/keyword combinations into the Molloy Catalog.
Can you think of more? If you have found keywords that have worked please add them to the comments section below!
TIP #1: once you have your results, sometimes it is helpful to set the SORT BY dropdown to Date (Newest First)
TIP #2: changing the format on the left hand side to ALL FORMATS will bring up available articles within the same subject area
Research Loan Program (RLP)*: RLP allows the student to borrow books from participating local institutions. View a list of Long Island Libraries participating in the RLP program. Ask a librarian for details if you are considering this service.
This program is currently suspended due to COVID19. Academic libraries are limiting access to their buildings to ensure the safety of their campus populations. Some academics are allowing curbside pickup; contact the individual institution for details.
*For both ILL and RLP, a librarian should be consulted prior to determine if attaining the material from another institution is the only option. Valid I.D. card required for both.
