Library
We’re the only social work school in New England with its own library—connecting you to 20,000 books and a robust collection of e-books, major journals, and databases. You also benefit from four dedicated librarians who help with research.
The library is centrally located on the lower ground floor of McGuinn Hall. There, you can use carrels, computers, printers, and scanners, and reserve group study spaces. You can also borrow iPads, laptop chargers, adapters, and other technology.
BCSSW alumni enjoy access to several research databases and journals and retain privileges to check out books.
