Find Print Books in the Library
Use the Library Catalog to locate books in the library on your topic:
- Perform a word or phrase search using keywords such as "nursing diagnosis" or "nursing AND leadership." Word or phrase searches will search the entire records of all the items in the catalog, including author, title, and subject areas.
- Perform a subject search using a keyword such as "medical-surgical nursing" to search for items on a specific topic.
The Library maintains a small collection of test prep resources as well. Check our reserves collection for
the latest editions.
Find Articles
The Library subscribes to several Nursing and Allied Health related databases, each of which provides access to research articles and other helpful resources. If you are away from campus, you will need to access these databases through Ocean Connect.
