This Research Guide should help students in SOC 250 Introduction to Social Work use library resources to find books and articles needed to complete class research assignments.
It is important to pull out the KEYWORDS of your topic to search the Library databases. Think about all of the different terms you can use for a subject (i.e. youth, adolescent, teenager, etc.). Remember you can perform exact phrase searches by using quotes around your phrases.
For your Career Research Paper, try combining your occupational interest with a service population that interests you.
Occupational Interest | Service Population |
"social work" or "social worker" | veterans |
therapist | children or teenagers |
counselor | incarcerated or prisoner |
teacher | mental health |
Here is an example of how you might enter search terms in the OneSearch.
