Books in Social Work


An outline of the subjects within social work and their Library of Congress Classification System call numbers are shown below. This outline will help you find books on the specific area of social work for which you are searching.  Books can be located on the shelves by these call numbers and searched in the book catalog by these terms. Please note that this outline is not exhaustive.  As your library research progresses, you may find additional call numbers and search terms.

FAU's book catalog has two search methods: Basic and Advanced.  You may use either search method to locate books held at any or all of the FAU campuses. The Basic Screen gives the option of searching for books by keyword, author, title and subject. The Advanced Screen gives these options, plus several others.
