Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Workers' Guide to the Serial Publications of Representative Social Agencies It is believed that the checklist will be especially helpful to social workers, to whom its service should be threefold: (1) to enable all those who have access to the Russell Sage Foundation Library to consult its source material in any given field with full information as to what publications are available and what are not. (2) To supply students at a distance who cannot use the Library with a source guide. In this latter case reports may generally be secured through a local library, a state library, or library commission. (3) To encourage visits to and studies of progressive institutions.
