Resource Library
The Resource Library is an excellent place to go for ideas and informally
published materials.
CASCW's Resource Library contains child welfare books, journals, videos and training manuals. Faculty and current Title IV-E MSW and Ph.D. students may borrow materials for up to one week.
A complete list of our holdings is available on-line. For an instruction sheet on how to use RefWorks click here. You can access it by going to the U of M library page and clicking on RefWorks or by clicking here.
The Resource Center is in 205D Peters Hall and is open during regular Center hours (Mon-Fri, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM).
