To our colleagues in the social services:
This is an update regarding the World Wide Web Resources for Social Workers (WWWRSW) and Information for Practice (IP). WWWRSW has been in operation since 1994 and continues to be located at: http://www.nyu.edu/socialwork/wwwrsw

WWWRSW has been substantially upgraded and currently contains 65,000 links. In the past year we removed approximately 2000 links to lower quality services and have added approximately 7000 new links. The majority of these links are to the “grey literature” - full text scientific, technical and policy reports. In addition, WWWRSW contains links to 2200 scholarly journals and newsletters, of which, 110 are to sites that provide full text articles. A wide range of links to relevant government agencies, educational institutions and professional organizations are also included. WWWRSW is updated daily.

IP is an email service that began in February of 2002. Each month we send an email to IP subscribers with a selection of links to new web based resources that have been added to WWWRSW. Currently IP has 2357 subscribers from 36 countries. To subscribe to IP, send a blank email message to the following address: join-information-for-practice@forums.nyu.edu
