SCW 380: Social Work with Orgs. & Comm.

A course guide for SCW 380: Social Work with Organizations & Communities

Instruction Activity for SCW 380

Today you will teach your fellow classmates about one of the resources you will need for your upcoming assignments in SCW 380. Together we'll be looking in detail at 4 resources.

You will be divided into 4 groups and will work together to explore your assigned database. Once your group becomes experts in that database, you will demo how to use it to the rest of the class.

All resources are available from this guide (the SCW 380 Course Guide). Please use this library guide (tabs above on the left side) to locate all the resources. 

To guide you in your exploration, work on answering the questions below about your resource. 

  1. What are the main topics or resource types covered by this database?
  2. How can I limit my results either before or after I do my search?
  3. How do I get the citation for an article/book that interests me?
  4. Is there an advanced search option? What additional features does it offer?

The databases we will be looking at are:

  • ERIC
  • Statista
  • DuSearch
  • Criminal Justice (Proquest)
