Helpful Tips for Nursing
Start with CINAHL, the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature.
Also use Medline, which indexes all medical literature, and for which the Thompson Library has three interfaces:
Medline via ProQuest (easiest)
Medline via UM-Medsearch: (most powerful, but with the highest learning curve. Use if you are struggling to find articles on your topic, and consider getting help from your Liaison Librarian, contact information in the box on the right)
PubMed: (Available for free on the Internet)
APA Style: for help with the basics of APA style, see the APA style guide.
