CINAHL up and running again

In our latest updates on the Library web pages, several links got broken. The link to the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature - CINAHL is now fixed on the page for the magazines and journals.

If you are off campus you will be asked for your barcode and password before being allowed to search. Check with the library if you have trouble getting in.

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.
