Finding Nursing Books
WSU Libraries Online Catalog.
Search for books by title, author, subject, or keyword. You can also search
for journal titles. Refer to the search hints and tips listed under the
search boxes. If you already have a citation, search the library catalog by
the journal name (not the article title) to see if WSU owns that particular
journal. If you find a citation in a WSU online database, you can link
directly back to the catalog to search for the full-text.
The following are a few suggested subject headings for locating
nursing-related books.
Clicking one of the links will take you into the catalog where you will see
how many books are available for that subject heading. In the
catalog, clicking on the subject heading will enable you to see the
individual items that correspond with that subject.
WorldCat.
Use this to search library catalogs world-wide for books, journals, maps,
manuscripts, etc. Search for a book, and then check the list of libraries
that own the item. If WSU does not own the book you want, you can order it
through interlibrary loan (ILLiad).
ILLiad.
If you are unable to find the book or article you need at WSU, you can order
it through ILLiad, the new WSU Libraries Book and Document Retrieval
Service.
