Print Reference Books

All Print Reference books are located in the center section of the library in the first 3 rows.  These items have a blue label on the spine of the book to make them easy to identify.  Pages can be scanned and saved with other research materials.

(Helpful Hint: Also be sure to scan the title and verso pages of the reference book.  This will help you create strong citations.)

Some research materials are also duplicated electronically and can be located in the catalog.  Online students can request scans of book pages and indexes to book for help in identifying the pages that would best help them to answer their research questions.

Print Reference books can be found by searching the Online Catalog.  A list is also provided below of general Nursing print materials.

Print Circulating Books

All Print Circulating books are located in the shelves in the 610 - 619 call number range.  Pages can be scanned and saved with other research materials.  These books may be checked out for 2 weeks and renewed 1 time.  Online students may request that books be mailed to them or that specific pages be scanned and emailed to them.

(Helpful Hint: Also be sure to scan the title and verso pages of the book. This will help you create strong citations.)
