NUR 710: DNP Seminar: Find Books

Find Books

Although the focus of this course is to locate journal articles, you may find that books, videos and government documents will be useful for background information on a topic, or for other courses you may be taking. Consult these catalogs for this information:

URSUS

The online catalog of materials located at the seven campus libraries of the the University of Maine system.

  • Search by keyword for best results.
  • Items located at other URSUS libraries can be requested online
  • Do not use to find journal articles (go to Find Articles on the library's page).
  • For information on using the catalog, consult the URSUS tutorial.

MaineCat
The statewide catalog that combines and links library collections across Maine, including private college nursing collections at libraries such as St. Josephs and the University of New England.

WorldCat
A national and international catalog of books, Internet sites, audio-visual sources, government documents, CD-ROMs and more.

  • Search by keyword to find relevant essays or chapters in edited books. Limit your search to English, if applicable, to eliminate materials that will not be useful to you.
