Social Work Research Guide

The Social Work Research Guide was created especially for students in Cal Poly Humboldt's Social Work Program. If you don't find what you are looking for, please contact Amanda Dinscore, College of Professional Studies Librarian, at amd212@humboldt.edu. I am always happy to help and can chat with you via email or meet in-person or online to discuss your research needs. You can also explore other options on our Research Help page.
