Welcome to the libguide information literacy for International Social Work (ISW). This web page is your guide to discovering the library and finding reliable information.
The tabs at the top of this page describe the different steps of your search to reliable information. The 5th and final step is omitted since this becomes relevant only in later stages of your study. A separate tab is created concerning AI and literature search since recent developments in this field also have implications for the way in which information is found.
If you encounter any roadblocks in your search for information you can use the contact page to find additional information or to reach out to an information specialist.
