Library services to nursing distance students
Who is a nursing distance student?
Any nursing student who is not located in Saskatoon. You could be part of the nursing program at a different site in Saskatchewan, or you could be on a placement. Either way, the information found on this page is for you.
How can I do research using the U of S Health Sciences Library from home?
Go to the Health Sciences Library website at http://library.usask.ca/hsl/, and sign in on the left hand side of the screen using your NSID and password. You can now browse the library website to get online access to many journal articles, eBooks (electronic books), videos, and databases. If you find information about books or journal articles which are not available online, you can request them as found below under Requesting books or journals from the U of S.
This guide can show you where to find resources which are specific to nursing - the first row of tabs at the top of this page is designed to help you find resources by the format - for example: books, articles, images, or videos. Other tabs can help you learn how to use different resources to be a better researcher - try the CINAHL Video Tutorials tab to learn how to use CINAHL to find articles on nursing-related topics, or visit the Manage References tab to learn how to start using a reference manager and save time when writing a paper.

- Can you teach me how to use CINAHL (or Medline, or another database)?
- What is a citation manager (like RefWorks)? How do I use it?

Count on approximately a week between the time our library receives your request and the time you receive the material.
