INTRODUCTION

This guide was compiled to provide nursing students with access to some major nursing and nursing-related reference sources which can be found in the Paul Meek Library. This is not a comprehensive list, and it does not include textbooks. Additional sources and other materials can be found by searching the online catalog by subject. Below are some suggested subject headings that you can use with our online catalog to locate additional sources.

nurses nursing - united states
nursing nursing - vocational guidance
nursing audit nursing - physiological aspects
nursing - ethics nursing - research
nursing - practice nursing - standards

The last section of this pathfinder will direct you to sources available on the Internet that may prove helpful to students in the health-science areas. Obviously the list of sources glommed from the Internet is not comprehensive but rather an example of the type of information that is accessible.

 


BIBLIOGRAPHY


 

Reader's Guide to Alternative Health Methods.
Call #:R 733 .R4 1993 (Reference)

The aim of this work Is to identify and provide information on alternative therapies and their promoters. Each section begins with an overview that reflects the author's perspective on the subject, followed by citations to the literature from medical, scientific, and consumer literature. Five appendixes provide information on organizations skeptical and supportive of alternate health methods; there is a glossary of alternative methods and terms.

Reference Sources in Science, Engineering, Medicine and Agriculture.
Call #: Z 7401 .M278 1994 (Reference)
This accumulation of more than 2,400 titles aims not only to be a bibliographic guide to the core literature, but also to cover a multi disciplinary territory between the natural sciences, engineering, medicine, and agriculture. The author provides both a reference guide to novice researchers and an up-to-date text for information science students studying scientific bibliography. This work is not a substitute for scientific guides to individual disciplines; rather it is a selective introductory-level guide. This source evaluates 750 book and 79 popular magazines and newsletters, and lists (some) 700 pamphlets, 30 health- information clearinghouses and information centers, 103 toll-free hot lines, and 175 health-related organizations providing educational or informational services to the public. It also lists 49 professional publications. In selecting materials, the compilers looked at the qualifications of the author, content of the work, writing style and readability, ease of use, pathways to further information, physical quality (binding, clarity of print, etc.), consumer orientation, and appropriateness for the intended audience. A directory of book publishers and author, title,
and subject indexes complete the source.

DICTIONARIES


 

HarperCollins Illustrated Medical Dictionary.
Call #: R 121 .D76 1993 (Reference)
The detailed, scientifically labeled illustrations are intended to preclude the need for lengthy definitions, most of which run only one or two sentences and use fairly technical vocabulary. The definition-illustration combination works in some cases, but not all. For example, definitions and the corresponding illustrations for medical devices and instruments provide a clear understanding of the terms. For other terms, dependence on the illustration to clarify the definition is less successful.... (Amino acid) is defined as any organic acid containing one or more amino groups and a carboxyl group; forms the essential component of proteins.' The corresponding illustration is a double-page-spread chart of the chemical composition of the major amino acids. No additional information is given. Definitions are supplemented by 2,500
sepia-and-black illustrations which run across the top of each page. Illustrated terms are printed in color in the text to refer the user to the illustration. A list of abbreviations and symbols; a list of prefixes, suffixes, and combining forms; and a phonetic pronunciation guide precede the main body of the dictionary.
