Background information can be found in reference materials like dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, and directories. If you are unfamiliar with a topic, these types of resources can provide introductions and historical overviews, define key terms, and offer quick facts--all of which will give a researcher a solid foundation before exploring more in depth. The MSJ Library has both print and electronic nursing reference resources, which include:
AccessMedicine provides medical students with a variety of resources needed to excel in basic science studies and clerkships; helps residents, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants with instant access to videos, self-assessment, and leading medical textbooks that facilitate decision-making at the point-of-care; and allows practicing physicians to brush up on their medical knowledge to ensure the best patient outcome.
