Circulating Books
Books on a wide range of Nursing and Health topics are indexed in One Search, the library’s online card catalog. Unlike the Reference books listed above, the Circulating Books may be checked out for three weeks with your college ID card.
Electronic Resources
We have a number of databases available for magazine and journal article searches. Performing a subject search in any of these databases should provide you with plenty of information about your topic.
1. CINAHL Plus with Full Text is the best place to search for journal articles in the area of Nursing.
2. Though these databases cover all topics, you can also use EBSCO Academic Search Premier, and CQ Researcher to find articles on Nursing.
