Nursing is an interdisciplinary field which is involved in many areas of research. For this reason appropriate reference works from related disciplines such as medicine, public health, biology, and chemistry have been included in this bibliography in addition to sources that deal specifically with nursing.

The student should keep in mind, however, that the list of resources mentioned here is not exhaustive. It is intended merely to acquaint the student with some of the major works pertaining to nursing and to provide a starting point for research.

Additional sources may be obtained by using USCAN, the CD-ROMs, the Internet databases, and the bibliographies and indexes in the Science, Reference, and Government Documents departments. Librarians in these areas are available to assist students in their research.
