English abstract

The recent great strides in technology presents tremendous opportunities for human development, but achieving that potential depends on how technology is being used. The fusion of computing and communications, especially through Internet, has broken the bounds of cost, time and distances, launching an era of global information networking that led to exponential growth of literature in all fields and social work is no exception to it. The Internet emerged as a formidable social and cultural institution of global proportions facilitating social scientists and social workers to access wealth of information on the web to support their academic and field activities. This paper spreads a light on the fast emerging new area of cyber social work and various electronic information sources and information technology tools in the field of social sciences with more specific to social work.
