Through a range of publications, the IGSW has made known both its work and that of other scholars and practitioners addressing similar questions.  IGSW Issue Briefs will be issued on a regular basis, representing state-of-the-art analyses of research and training issues in geriatric social work.

Through this series of reports, IGSW intends to develop a bibliographic resource for social work educators, trainers, and practitioners. Addressing topics such as the geriatric social work labor force and the effectiveness of geriatric social work services, these Issue Briefs will highlight promising directions and needed resources for social work to better address the aging of America.

Another format called IGSW Bulletins are focused on graphical data presentations depicting trends and issues related to geriatric social work.  The purpose of these short bulletins is to visually present information to decision-makers tied to research, education, and policy needs of geriatric social work.  Journal and magazine articles also will be prepared with the intent of reaching both members of the health-related professions and members of the larger public concerned about aging care questions.   Electronic and print newsletters will keep subscribers up to date on new and breaking developments of concern to the geriatric social work community.
