Multi-Search
The Multi-Search (the search box on the library homepage) allows you to do a keyword search for books, e-books, journals, magazines, newspapers, and reports available in our collection.

Publication Finder
The Publication Finder allows you to search for journals by title or ISSN. You can also browse by database or by subject.
You can type in the title or ISSN of a nursing journal using the search box at the top of the page, browse for nursing journals using the alphabet in the middle of the page, or browse by subject. If you browse by subject, you can narrow down your results further by selecting subtopics or databases.
Once you find a journal, you will see the availability and location of each journal listed under the title. For example:
The dates provided for each database under the journal title tell you the full text access range for that database. If you click on the database title, it will open the journal page within that database, and you can do a keyword search to find relevant articles or browse specific issues.
