Search Tips

Why choose a book? 

Books logo

Books are good places to find in-depth background information on a topic. Take into consideration the date of publication when you select a book - the information might be outdated, along with the topic selected.  If you're doing historical review of a nursing theory, a print book (even an old one) might be helpful.
