Rob,

If you have access to UNO Criss Library’s databases (you should have access when you are on campus) there are numerous resources where you can find peer-reviewed articles, reports and research material on your topic.

The following link takes you to a guide where you can find links to databases. These databases contain links to articles on every  topic in your area: http://libguides.unomaha.edu/socialwork In this guide, click on the Databases tab at the top. On this page are links to several different databases. For your topic, I recommend Public Administration Abstracts and Urban Studies Abstracts.

The keywords to use for your search: (neighborhood (restoration or transformation)) and community change

Two other guides that may help you find articles from professional publications are: http://libguides.unomaha.edu/publicadministration AND http://libguides.unomaha.edu/sociology Again, click on the Databases tab to access the links to databases for articles.

If you have additional questions, you can contact the Social Work librarian, Linda Parker; lparker@unomaha.edu.
