The best place to find articles is to search the Library's databases. They contain magazines, journals, newspapers, reference books, video files, audio files, and podcasts.
What databases will be the best for this project? You can search any of the Nursing & Allied Health databases.
Kirtland librarians recommend starting with:
Some journal articles are peer reviewed. Peer reviewed articles carry more authority than other articles because their content has been reviewed by subject experts prior to publication. Databases allow you to limit your search to peer reviewed materials. By doing so, you assure that the resources you are using are reliable and acceptable for scholarly work.
You may not always have the option to limit your results to peer reviewed articles on the first screen. You might need to do an advanced search or complete a search and then select peer reviewed on the results screen.
Sample titles:
The Magic of Mushrooms
Modern Marvels: Poison
Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef: Globe Trekker
Tobacco: Addicted to Pleasure
Venom: Nature's Killer
Many titles provide transcripts (look at the tabs in the box to the right) which can be helpful when citing. Some also allow searching within a transcript to more easily find relevant information, however you need to scroll through the transcript to look for highlighted terms. It does not automatically jump to them. Broadening your search term and then searching within the resulting titles takes time but usually generates more results.
