These resources include Health Databases (PubMed), Nursing Databases (CINHAL Complete through NC AHEC), and eBooks (through NC AHEC). However, using electronic resources can be overwhelming.

Today, with so many digital resources, you can find the information you need anywhere that you have an internet connection.
