About the Collection

The social work collection supports the teaching and research requirements of the UIUC School of Social Work. To this end, comprehensive collections are maintained for child welfare, health care, community mental health, school social work, social welfare administration, social policy analysis and implementation, and social planning. The majority of the estimated 45,000 volumes which comprise the collection are housed in the Main Library Bookstacks. Approximately 5,000 contemporary English-language books and the recent years of more than 40 journals in social work are located in the Education and Social Science Library.

Please direct all requests for information or Library Research Instruction Sessions or any Book & Journal Suggestions to Allison Sutton, the Psychology and Social Work Subject Specialist/Librarian.
