Social Work Library




(NEW YORK, August 4, 2009)

Columbia University's Social Work Library, one of the world's premiere collections in social work and social services, provides comprehensive coverage of the various areas of social work including child welfare, gerontology, health and health care, international social welfare, marriage and the family, and social policy.


The Social Work Library houses a video collection for classroom and in-library use, and a growing collection of online books, journals, and databases.

The collection's gems include the Brookdale Memorial collection on Gerontology and the unique Social Work Agency Collection, which includes ephemera and reports starting well before 1900.


The 7,000 square foot library features spacious stacks and reading rooms with natural light and pleasant views, wireless internet, video viewing stations, group study rooms with multi-media capabilities, a library instructional facility, and after-hours study space for use by Social Work students.

Research assistance is available at the library Monday through Friday from 10am-5pm. Schedule a Research Consultation with the Social Work Librarian, ask a reference question, or inquire about your Library Account online.
