- Navigating the Shoals: Legal Research, Social Policy, and Social Work Students Bellard, Eloise M. Academic Libraries Social Work Professional Education Laws Research Databases Encyclopedias Periodicals Publications Web Sites Adoption Library Materials Imparting practical legal knowledge and skills to social workers is a growing concern for social work educators.

This article documents some of the difficulties associated with legal research in an academic library and offers librarians and social work students some guidance in using secondary tools for locating and analyzing statutes and case law.
