Social Work Assistant: Professional Journals and Galileo Databases

Searching Galileo

Using Galileo discover with any of these search terms: “Social Work, Social Case Work, Social Case Work Reporting, Communication in Social Work, Domestic Violence and Child Abuse” brings up literally thousands of hits. 

Note that after you retrieve the initial set of "hits" from your search, which might include literally thousands of titles,  the Refine Results column on the left side of the screen contains several methods of further refining what you're looking for in order to reduce the number of articles to a more relevant and manageable result list. 

  • Full text (not just a summary)
  • Date of publication (if using only current sources is important)
  • Type of publication (check the boxes next to magazines and trade publications)
