Human services and information technology

"Over the last ten years information technology has had an increasing impact on social work and other helping professions that are jointly described as the human services. Office automation and new client information systems are becoming an established part of social work agencies, shaping how services are organised and function. Computer software is beginning to find a role in assisting social workers in their day-to-day professional contact with clients and in social work education. Increasingly, communication and networking technologies are revolutionising how essential information about resources, services and practice is made available to staff at all levels within agencies and to their clients. This book examines aspects of these changes in seventeen countries."--Jacket.
