Health & Medical News Sources
Not only is the library rich in news on COVID-19 and the fight to treat people and find a vaccine. There is a great deal of other health related news available to you through this university resource.
Here are some of the resources featuring content on health news for you to explore, subscribe to for your daily or weekly dose, or simply browse.
Do you have a process for gathering citations for your projects, or is it a mad scramble to get them together when you are done the writing?
Refworks is the solution for organizing your citations as soon as you collect them. It is also a tool for generating your reference lists, after double-checking citations all for accuracy, using your APA Publication Manual or an online resource such as the OWL at Purdue. For information on APA access the library guide, APA Style Writing and CItation.
To learn about how to sign up for a RefWorks account through the library and where to find information on how to use it, there is information in the library to assist.
