Social Work

The subject databases for social work cover social work and its related disciplines such as psychology and education. They contain both full texts and references and help you to find comprehensive, subject-specific information and resources. 

The Oxford Bibliographies and Sociological Abstracts provide a good introduction to a topic. With PsycArticles you can immerse yourself in the fields of psychology and health. ERIC is the right choice for literature on educational sciences, children and youth.
