Library Basics
I want to begin by covering a few important library resources that are available to you. You can always get more information on all of these library resources from the library home page (https://csumb.edu/library).

OneSearch search box (https://csumb-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/primo-explore/search?vid=01CALS_UMB&lang=en_US&sortby=rank)
● OneSearch allows you to search for different types of sources across various databases and catalogs. You can search for books, articles, videos, and more on any subject.

Quick Links - Course Reserves (https://csumb.edu/library/course-reserves)

universities.

Nursing Research Guide (https://csumb.edu/library/nursing-research-guide)
For nursing students, the best way to access library resources in support of nursing courses and nursing research is to use the nursing research guide. The nursing research guide can be found
by clicking on Subject Research Guides on the library home page, and then clicking on Nursing. There are four sections on the guide. The first section, Articles and databases, focuses on nursing, medicine, and health & wellness-related databases that you have access to. The second section, Books and background reading, focuses on print and electronic nursing books that you have access to. The third section, Websites, lists a few state and national association websites, as well as general nursing information. The fourth section, Citing your sources, lists a
few resources on the APA citation style.
