Nursing Research  

Reference -- medical atlases, encyclopedias, and dictionaries plus evidence-based medicine databases.

Books -- textbooks and medical books for broad coverage of a subject at a moderate to deep level.

Articles from periodicals (newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals). Focus on radiology journals to bring knowledge from books up to the present.

Websites -- lots of information, but it's easy for web authors to fake expertise. Evaluation is essential! Click on the Websites tab to search some recommended websites.

Databases created for medical staff who need to quickly determine current best practice based on the most recent, high-quality, research. 

These sources can be a starting point to learn about your topic. Subject encyclopedias are very helpful to narrow down your topics and to find keywords to make your searches more productive.
