Tips for searching for books on social responsibility

Try a simple search: (By putting the terms in quotes, it forces the system to look for both words together.)

"social responsibility"
"corporate social responsibility"
"business ethics"
"people, profit, planet"
"board governance"
"social reporting"
plus others such as sustainability, accountability, transparency, disclosure

Once you've run a search, use the "Refine My Results" options on the left side of the page. It's a quick way to drill down to the most useful results without paging through a lot of items you're not really interested in. Options often include limiting by:

resource type (book article)
library (UW Tacoma)
creation date
language
