Students in the Distance Learning Program of the School of Nursing are entitled to use UB resources and services for research and coursework. You can come directly to the Libraries to retrieve books and audiovisuals, copy articles, search databases, or request interlibrary loans. You can also obtain these services online from your home or office using this Help Guide for Distance Learners.

The best place to start when doing online research in nursing is the List of Resources by Subject: Nursing. The subject pages list and link to online databases, journals and books.

Check our catalog, BISON, for books as well as NetLibrary for electronic versions of books. Several online tutorials are available at http://library.buffalo.edu/hsl/services/tutorials.html
