Well as things are wrapping up here on campus for the semester, but not for long as new students will be starting up their studies towards the end of the month.   I will be out for MLA Annual meeting in Minneapolis from the 14th to the 18th and towards the end of the month for a NLM BioMedical Informatics course.  I will be monitoring my email and please contact the library if you needed something sooner.   I hope you have a great month of May  :) .

Nursing Research Guide

I have made some changes to the Nursing Research Guide, please check it out if you get the chance.   If you have any suggestions as to how the guide could be improved or if you see any errors, please let me know. Some changes made were:

• I have added some pages with population/demographic information
• A video/multimedia page
• I have also added additional resources to each section so that they are up to date.
