Materials in Feinberg Library

This link provides a list of suggested Reference Books for Nursing 

Browse for Books in the R sections of all the library's books: Reference, Circulating (3rd floor), and Special Collections.

Search the Library Catalog using the term Nursing as a subject. Also use multiple concepts such as Nursing and Diabetes as keywords to get more specific books.

Journals are shelved alphabetically, so while some will be located in the N's (Nursing Management), others will be located elsewhere,  (International Journal of Nursing Studies).
