Films on Demand

This summer the Library has added an online film service with many educational films supporting our college curriculum. There is a large segment of Health and Medicine films, many of which might be useful for you in reviewing material. There are over 460 films on Diseases and Conditions, and another 275 or more on Anatomy and Physiology.

The link to Films on Demand is below on the right, and you have been sent the passwords in your NDSCS mail. If you need to ask us for them, be sure to give us your ID number when you call so we can verify that you are authorized to look at the films. Your instructors also have the passwords and will probably be assigning films as part of your classwork.

Welcome

Welcome to all the new students at NDSCS this fall, and a welcome back to those who are returning to the campus. We are glad to have you all here and are ready to work with you to make your college experience a success.

In Nursing and all the health sciences, scholarly and professional materials are necessary for you to complete many reports and projects. This blog has many links to help you, and the LibGuide on Nursing Resources is a quick and easy way to learn more about them. The LibGuides also have a Mobile friendly spot, so you can connect easily no matter where you are.

We wish you all the best for the new academic year.

Updated LibGuide

Have you looked at the Nursing LibGuide yet? This is a work in progress, always updating information as we find it, as well as giving you links to the old standbys. Our newest addition is some tutorials on using the databases. Have you forgotten the hints on searching Cinahl? Go to the LibGuide and watch the Cinahl tutorial. It will remind you of details on finding the best articles you need for your reports.

Saturday Hours this week in Library

We'll be open for studying or finishing up your projects this Saturday, May 8 , from 1:00 - 5:00.

Good luck to those of you getting ready to graduate and study for your Boards!

It's National Library Week

Take a break from studying for exams and completing projects. There are activities in the library this week in honor of National Library Week. Today we have "Guess the Staff", where you can win a prize for correctly guessing which book goes with which staff member.

APA new edition updates

The new version of the APA style manual has been published, and unfortunately it is full of errors and typographical mistakes. APA has sent out the following update to the version, which is useful for you in using the new edition if your instructor requires it.

We hope to have corrected manuals in the library and to get some cheat sheets ready as soon as all this gets figured out.

Research Guide to Nursing

There is now a useful Research Guide to Nursing materials, in our library, in our databases, and on the web. The link is http://ndscs.nodak.libguides.com/nursing

This online guide replaces our printed guide, with lists and links that can be accessed directly from the LibGuide site. This will be updated as materials are received or changed, so you will want to check it out when you have papers and projects. As always, let us know what would be useful for you to have added to the site.
