EBSS Social Work Committee List
Official members of this section committee are automatically added to the committee’s Connect space and subscribed to the email list.
You can post to the list by sending an email to
ALA-ACRL-EBSS-SWC@ConnectedCommunity.org or by creating a new post directly in the Connect community.
The committee composition is determined by section leadership.
The committee name was changed from Social Work/Social Welfare to Social Work in August 2016.
Social work education is based upon a specific body of knowledge, values, and professional skills. It is grounded in the profession's history in the charities, corrections, and public welfare movements and in its philosophy centered on privilege, oppression, diversity, and social justice. Education for the profession promotes the development and advancement of interdisciplinary knowledge, practice skill, and services that further the well-being of all people, even in a global perspective. The need to develop informed practice and policy, built upon evidence-based research is an evolving directive.
