Hello Cindy

I would suggest that you go to the Myers Library Online Page. Once there make sure you are logged in with your OUID and password. Once logged in find the Online Library Databases link and go to the databases list which is in alphabetical order and find Ebscohost and checkmark the CINAHL Nursing database and look through the database list for other healthcare databases that you can combine and checkmark before you click continue. When you do that you will get a search screen. I would try different keyword search combinations in the search box when looking for your articles and combine them with AND. Make sure that when you do your search you go below the searchbox and limit your search to full-text and peer-reviewed articles.

If you have any further questions, please email me back or call me at 785-248-2536.

Thanks,

Gloria Creed-Dikeogu, Ottawa University Myers Library
