To our colleagues in the counseling fields:

WWWRSW has been in operation since 1994 and continues to be located at: http://www.nyu.edu/socialwork/wwwrsw/

We have just added a News Ticker to WWWRSW in order to provide you with even more timely connections to professionally relevant information. You will notice these headlines scrolling through the upper right corner of the WWWRSW main page. You can click on any of these to be taken to the news item. WWWRSW has been substantially upgraded and currently contains 73,690 links. In the past year we removed approximately 2500 links to lower quality resources and have added approximately 11000 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 2230 scholarly journals and newsletters, of which, 140 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. During the current academic year, WWWRSW has averaged 620 visits per day from individuals throughout the world.

IP is our electronic newsletter 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 3544 subscribers from 56 countries. To subscribe to IP, send a blank email message to the following address:

These are free services. New York University's Ehrenkranz School of Social Work and the Division of Social Work and Behavioral Science, Mount Sinai School of Medicine jointly sponsor WWWRSW. IP is sponsored by Institute for the Advancement of Social Work Research, the Society for Social Work and Research and WWWRSW.
