Overview
Library Search is a good place to start searching for information (especially books and journal articles) because it covers multiple databases. Most of the resources included in the 'Nursing and Midwifery Journal Databases' box below will be covered by Library Search.
However, you may sometimes need to search individual databases to find specific types of information, or to use specialised search options designed to help you find information more easily.
The tabs above list additional resources for Evidence Based Practice, Standards and Guidelines, and conducting Systematic Reviews. If you require further assistance, please see the Library's Ask Us page.
