The Nursing and Allied Health Resources Section (NAHRS) of the Medical Library Association created the 2012 NAHRS Selected List of Nursing Journals to assist librarians with collection development and to provide nurses and librarians with data on nursing and interdisciplinary journals to assist their decisions about where to submit articles for publication. This list is a continuation and expansion of a list initially known as the Key Nursing Journals list. It compares database coverage and full-text options for each title and includes an analysis of the number of evidence-based, research, and continuing education articles.
Special events to publicize the library and its services don't have to be related to health care events. Creative planning can make any event fun. Working with others both from within the hospital and in the community can be key to having a successful special event.
Consumer health services do not require a circulating collection of books for patients, their families, and the community. Hospital libraries can successfully offer these services using noncirculating materials, online resources and databases, pamphlet files and cooperative agreements with public libraries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
