Subject:Re: Research access recommendations

Katie, You've put your finger on a real challenging issue in the child welfare field, since so much of the research literature is essentially embargoed behind paywalls. Not like it isn't already difficult enough to bridge the research-practice divide and connect line staff with published articles... This article outlined a potential solution that I think is creative and worth exploring: Shera, W. & Dill, K. (2012). "Promoting Evidence-Informed Practice in Child Welfare in Ontario: Progress, Challenges and Future Directions". Research on Social Work Practice 22 (2), 204-213. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/1049731511406552 Good luck, Alan On Saturday, January 4, 2020, 9:18:57 AM EST, Katie Steck wrote: Hi all, Currently our organization is looking to be able to access research articles if one of us that currently has research access leaves the organization. Do you all have any recommendations on the best way to approach getting access to research databases or know of any special programs for non-profits?
