Recently I've been asked about the British Library's Social Welfare Portal. This service allows you to limit your search of the British Library Catalogue (which is vast) to just their social welfare collections.
The Portal also includes an alerting service to keep you up to date with the latest information in social welfare and the Welfare Reform Digest which contains abstracts of articles from recent journals and other research material.
The Portal is free to use but it will not give you access to all the materials that you find. As with most research material on the web UK Government Reports and reports from charities may be freely available in full text online but journal articles and books will not be.
In order to obtain any book or journal article that you find by using the portal you will need to use UoB Libraries' Document Supply service and fill in the appropriate online form. Final year undergraduate students can request up to 5 materials for FREE with this service.
