Social Work

A subject guide to help with beginning research in the field of social work

Library Research Guide

Search Multiple Databases

There isn't a tool that searches all available library databases simultaneously, but you can search the databases that K-State subscribes to on the ProQuest or EBSCOhost platforms using the links below. This is a good way to start if you're topic is interdisciplinary or you aren't sure which subject-specific database to select.

The ProQuest Multi-Database Search is an especially good starting place for students in the social sciences. It includes databases for psychology, sociology, social services, business, and economics. 

Databases for Social Work

These are recommended databases for social work students. Databases focused on education, medicine and health, and sociology will also have literature relevant to social work.
