The IU East Campus Library has new resources to help students and faculty locate clinical and healthcare related scholarly journals and articles.
We now subscribe to ProQuest’s Nursing and Allied Health Premium.This database provides access to over 700 scholarly journals, 350 training videos, case studies, and multicultural reports that can help healthcare providers in working with patients from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. It also includes illustrations and photos that students can study and include in their research and presentations.
Example:
To find a specific journal, we now have access to BrowZine, a tool that enables searching for a journal by title, subject, or ISSN. We recommend nursing students check the Biomedical and Health Sciences BrowZine Library, which allows you to browse the journals in this collection by showcasing the journal covers and titles, similar to browsing book aisles in the library or bookstore. Once you locate the journal you wish to view, you can click on the title to see the years and issues we have access to, and search through individual issues for the articles that interest you, often with one-click access.
We also recommend all students try LibKey Nomad. This tool is a browser extension that you can download and use with the internet browser of your choice. It will help you locate and access articles when searching websites outside our library databases, such as Google Scholar, Elsevier, PubMed, and Wikipedia. You can view directions on how to download this tool and how it works in our Library Tools for Quick Article Access guide.
