Library Services

The SSA library located on the School’s first floor is one of SSA’s outstanding educational resources. The library’s collection covers all aspects of social welfare and social work, as well as related material from other disciplines. It contains more than 33,000 volumes, including serials, journals, and reference works. The library has a large collection of microfilms, pamphlets, and publications of governmental and voluntary agencies. Online catalog and computer workstations to access electronic information sources are also available. Readings for all SSA classes are located here.

The staff of the SSA library is available to help students locate appropriate materials in the SSA library and elsewhere in the University library system. Orientation tours for new students are conducted by the librarian each Autumn Quarter.

The SSA library is a unit of the University of Chicago Library System, incorporating the main Joseph Regenstein Library and several departmental libraries including the John Crerar Science Library and the D’Angelo Law Library.

SSA students have access to all major University Libraries.
