EBSCOhost e-Journal Database
To build VWOs’ research capability and help them stay abreast with new research and developments in the social service sector, NCSS and SSTI have provided all member VWOs with EBSCOhost, an e-journal database.
More than 3,400 e-journals from EBSCOhost’s SocINDEX, Psychology & Behavioral Science collection, and Non-Profit Organisation Reference Centre have been made available from April 2012.
Visit http://search.ebscohost.com to access the database. A user ID and password are required. Please note that this resource is only available to staff from member VWOs and SSTI’s current academic students.

Funding for Social Service Research
Funding is available to encourage and support social service research proposals. Some of the funds include:
Training in Research
Social service professionals are encouraged to take an interest in research and build capabilities through regular training. Training courses are available at the
Social Service Training Institute (SSTI). For more information on the above courses, please view the SSTI Training Directory FY12/13.
The Research Network aims to bring together social service practitioners who are keen to build their research knowledge through sharing and learning. The network is held twice a year, and provides a platform to enable social service practitioners to strengthen their knowledge and skills in research, as well as promote a research culture in the social service sector. Guest speakers are invited to share on social service research, while participants can share their experiences in conducting social service research in their respective areas.
