Getting Started

Before jumping in and looking for research, it is a good idea to have a refined topic and to know a little about it. Start with broad resources like encyclopedias, bibliographies, and handbooks to start to get a sense of what is available on your topic in the universe of information.

Finding Articles and More

Search the following indexes to find resources for topics in Health Care Administration, Nursing, Nutrition or Physical Therapy. See individual Resources by Subject guides for more specific indexes covering topics within particular fields of study.

Getting Fulltext

Because not all indexes are fulltext--or 100% fulltext--you may have to look elsewhere to find an article for which you have a citation. Many of our databases include direct links to other full text sources through ArticleNow. The ArticleNow logo will appear next to the citation within the database. For any citations not bearing this logo and link consult the resources below to find out how to get access to the articles you need.

Library Online Catalog - to see what Simmons owns in print or electronically
Fulltext Journal Locator (Serials Solutions) just for e-journals, indicates which database covers which years of full-text journals
Interlibary Loan - if Simmons does not have an article electronically or in print
