Hi James.

Of course you are right, my boss would and will expect me to be up to date in my practice. It's so difficult to identify good reading materials when you no longer frequent book shops. I have a reading list though, which one of the list members sent me, so at least I'd have author and titles. I attempted to search for material on the net by typing in "Task Cantered Casework" hoping to get a paper or article, but ending up with hundreds of links to professional book suppliers. Unfortunately, I think you are right that the RNIB is my best option. It's not too bad actually, because these days, we have systems to convert cassette recordings to mp3, enabling us to listen again on the move.

Best wishes.
Andy

Hi

I don't work in the field, but I would just try some websites of reputable
organisations that you know of and look for some links, or type the names of
some related journals into google and see what you get. Many of the
academic journals have subscription-based online archives nowadays, I
suppose this will help for up-to-date material. I don't think you'll find
much useful free stuff - I'm sure plenty of people have opinions on the
subjects you mention, but whether they will be professionally useful to you
is another matter. RNIB really is probably your best bet for quality
material, even though it's annoying to have to wait for it. I'm sure your
employer would prefer you to be familiar with good-quality work, even if you
have had to wait for it.

Best wishes

James

Hi all.

I'm returning to my work as a social worker after an absence of almost
four 
years.  I need to do some really heavy reading but don't really have the
time to borrow books from the RNIB.  Can anyone tell me if they know of a
web site where I can visit and read books or articles on Social Work
Practice, Psychology, Counselling, Drugs - Alcohol etc,

It would be great if I could because I could copy these into Goldwave and
make audio cd's for listening away from my computer.



Best wishes.
