Niagara College Library Blog

 Niagara College Libraries has organized the trial of two Nursing and Allied Health databases. Links to access ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source and CINAHL Plus with Full Text have been added to the trial section of our “Search by Database“ page.  Niagara College Libraries would love to hear your thoughts and comments on these databases so that we can make an informed decision on behalf of our students and faculty. Your insights are valued and can be sent to library@niagaracollege.ca
