From: Beth Jacoby <bjacoby_at_hshsl.umaryland.edu>
Although we are mostly an academic health sciences library, we
also serve the faculty and students of our School of Social Work.
We have been charged with evaluating our social work resources to
determine if we could be doing better.
We plan to compare our holdings to those of libraries known to be
strong in social work; compare our journal holdings against those
indexed in Social Work Abstracts; and perhaps set up an approval
plan with a general academic vendor to cover social work,
retrospective and current. (Our current approval plan vendor
doesn't cover social work.)
1. Can you suggest names of libraries strong in social work against
which we can compare our holdings?
2. Do you know of any bibliographies in social work which aren't
too dated that we could also use?
3. Any other suggestions for approaching this task?
