Welcome to the online resources for our book, Whole Person Librarianship: A Social Work Approach to Patron Services. Resources mentioned in the book are listed within their corresponding chapter. You may add resources to each chapter by creating page comments, or you can make recommendations for generally useful resources that don’t fit one specific chapter on this page. Comments will be moderated, and we’ll periodically update our links to make sure they’re relevant.
