Librarian: Marcia Henry - Health Sciences Librarian. You can email me at mhenry@csun.edu, or call me at 818.677.3012.
This webpage will present Required readings and website recommendations for Dr. Maida's class. However the Librarian is also pointing out subject headings and article databases which should help you to also find related books and articles in addition to Dr. Maida's suggestions.
Books (Find books, videos, government documents, and journals)
Library Catalog indexes items owned by Oviatt Library. Recommended subject headings for a subject search are:
Library Catalog course reserves --please look to see if Dr. Maida has placed items on reserve
WorldCat indexes material in all major libraries. CSUN students, faculty and staff can request material Oviatt library does NOT own by using Interlibrary Loan.
Databases (Find articles in journals, magazines and newspapers)
The following databases are recommended in alphabetical order as resources where you can easily identify full text, scholarly, articles. The subject headings may vary from database to database so you want to consider doing both a keyword search on either XXXX or XXXX or xxxx or XXXXX or use the appropriate subject heading for each database. If you want to search all these databases simultaneously, select the Health Sciences category in MetaSearch
