Access & Privileges

As a unit of the University of Chicago Library system, the Social Work Library has the same borrowing policies, due dates and loan periods, notices and fines as other libraries on campus. Walk-in access to the Social Work Library is limited to Crown Family School students, faculty, and staff. All others should use the Ask a Librarian form to request access.
