Library Orientations

Depending on how you view it, library tours and orientations can be stimulating and fun or depressing and boring. At NMCC library we try to make it fun while sharing valuable information you will need to complete class assignments and write your papers.

We really hope that your first visit to the library is enjoyable and that we make you feel comfortable enough to come back often to ask for assistance and to find additional information you'll need to complete your school projects.

Librarians love to help students and we are always interested in the wide variety of topics for student projects. When we work with students, we get to learn something new each day. That is the fun part of our job.

Stop by and let us show you how we can help and how you can learn to be a better searcher and find the information you need. Honestly, this is not your grandmother's library. Libraries today are great resources and we hope you will take advantage of all the library has to offer you.

New CINAHL Search Features

Ebsco just announced a new search limit feature. Now search results can be limited to "nurse as author." This is great news and will be very useful to nursing students. Next time you are using CINAHL check out this new feature. If you have questions, contact a librarian for help.

From Ebsco Support Site:

How do the “written by a nurse” limiters limit my result set in CINAHL products?

---

There are two limiters of this variety:

• First Author is Nurse – If this limiter is applied, then you will only retrieve records where it is confirmed that the first author of an article is a nurse, according to credentials noted in the article.

• Any Author is Nurse – If this limiter is applied, then you will only retrieve records where at least one author is a nurse, according to the credentials noted in the article.

The written by a nurse limiter applies to records from 2009 and forward. Credentials include RN, BSN, MSN, or appropriate degree. As this limiter pertains to non-U.S. journals, the credentials include licensed nurse or appropriate nursing degree in the particular country.
