The Social Work collection is primarily on Floor 5 of the Library. Printed books are arranged by subject and core Social Work material is shelved at HV in the classification scheme. Interdisciplinary books are shelved in other areas of the Library. Look on Library Search for details of the class mark and floor.
Most of our print books can be borrowed. If the book you want is on loan, you can place a hold on it and you will get an email when it comes back. We do operate a postal loan scheme if you're unable to visit the Library. E-books are available via Library Search.
Your tutor will point you to your reading list. We do have some reading lists in Talis, our reading list system, which link items in lists directly with relevant e-books, scanned chapters, or the library catalogue with information about where to find the book in the Library.
The Sage Catalyst e-book collection for Social Work contains some useful key texts to support your studies. It also provides access to a collection of study skills material too.
