Each Tab in the LibGuide provides tutorials, helpful documents, and contact information about:

• Books
  Search for SAU Library books in print and ebooks we subscribe to. Tips for renewing online as well as information about loan periods and overdue fines. 
• Journal Articles in Library subscription databases
  Accessing articles from home or work requires a couple more steps than if you were researching on campus
• Interlibrary Loan
  We probably won't own everything you need for your MSW projects; but we have a borrowing agreement with libraries across the country which allows us to provide access to materials beyond our own collection.
• Citation Style Manuals
  The importance of citing sources can add to the stress of a research project. The tutorial and website links provided might help answer your questions.
• Web Resources
  Collection of social work organizations and selected statistics sites
