Web Sites of Interest to Social Workers
There are many World Wide Web sites of special interest to
social workers. New ones are being added every day. Hundreds of
schools of social work or social work departments have their own
Web sites. Since other Web sites include links to these, I will
not list them all here. However, the
Association of Baccalaureate Social Work Program Directors (BPD)
site is a good source for such links, as is the Council
on Social Work Education.
Here are some social work-related sites we've found that you
might want to check out. Many of the sites listed here are among
the 350 sites reviewed in the book, THE
SOCIAL WORKER'S INTERNET HANDBOOK, co-authored by The
New Social Worker editor Linda Grobman and University of Chicago
School of Social Service Administration former Dean of External
Affairs Gary Grant.
